Immigration

- Not just about border issues
- 15.5 million APIAs in the U.S.
- 60 percent of Asians and 4 percent of Pacific Islanders are immigrants
- 20 percent are foreign born
- Immigration backlogs - waits of more than 20 years
- Lack of medical attention to detention centers
- Due process violations
- Greater hurdles to accessing services due to language minorities
- Voter ID - APIAs are more likely to have to show ID when going to the polls

- Recommendations
- Thank CAPAC for leading charge on family-based immigration
- Support H.R. 5882 - address family backlog
