APAP-DC presents AAPIs and the Urgency for Comprehensive Immigration Reform
By Erin Pangilinan
In case you missed it, below is a clip of Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (Chair of House Subcommittee on Immigration).
An immigration lawyer and immigration law professor at Santa Clara University, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren discusses how comprehensive immigration reform is vital to nurturing our country with the immigrant character. She also discussed past work on comprehensive immigration reform in 2006 and 2007 and the current work in the House Subcommittee on Immigration. She briefly critiques the past detention issues within Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE). Representing Silicon Valley, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren discusses the importance of the Senate to act on comprehensive immigration reform before it moves in the House. She also mentions that founder of Yahoo, Jerry Yang, came from family-based immigration, not employment based immigration.
