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…
