Asian Americans Stepping Up for Immigration Reform

From the Southern California Public Radio:

“About 55 percent of Asian-American immigration into the United States has been due to family preferences… More young Asian-Americans who grew up in the U.S. without papers have been going public with their status, as have young Latinos and other activists.”

But a lot of the issues around the current reform doesn’t address family immigration. Asian Americans are stepping up to advocate for these realities and helping to shape the conversation since “Immigration from Asia recently surpassed new arrivals from Latin America, with Asians becoming the nation’s fastest-growing racial group.”
