• NAPAWF members and their families came to the U.S. as early as the 1850’s and as recently as 2000.
• 12% have family members who immigrated solely through employment-based visas, 21% through a mixture of employment and family-based visas, and overwhelmingly, 68% listed family-based visas as their family’s sole means of immigration.
• 37%  know someone who has been detained and/or deported.
