This may seem like old info to you, but many assume that when you’re talking about immigration, you’re talking about Mexicanos. However, Asian-American immigration advocate organizations are bringing more visibility to diversity in immigration with the new movement #ImmigrationStoryIn5Words.


Explaining your story in just five words might not seem like enough, but these tweets totally capture the essence of being an immigrant…


This tweet totally nailed the feeling of millions of immigrants.

This tweet kept it SUPER relevant.

Because what makes America already great is that immigrants can come here and become whatever they want.


There are also serious stories explaining the immigration.

Truer words have never been tweeted. ?


And you can’t talk about immigration without mentioning stories of sacrifice and unconditional love.

A lot of us can relate to these.


This man right here just wanted to point out a small detail…
