out west you see much more activism and visibility among the asian pacific islanders who are immigrantsno is synonymous with immigrant. it's a very mixed bag. on one hand it has obvious benefits for the latino community in terms of our electoral power and representation, but there could be so much more. especially in this movement if we have everyone together as a coalition. most stereo types of what an immigrant looks like is wrong. talking about latinos, there was a poll last year that said one out of three americans believe most hispanics are illegal immigrants. that is wildly wrong. >> and that perception ends up mattering. all immigrants are latino. and all latinos are illegal immigrants. >> and the latino community has felt this crisis acutely and in a terrible, terrible way because our public policies are enforcement policies are targeting latinos. so equating latino with immigrant is very intentional. this week a lawsuit was settled brought by 22 latino families who had been the victims of warrantless raids. armed agents surrounding and targeting latino neighborhoods, pre-dawn r

while the congressional black caucus working with our colleagues from the hispanic caucus and asian pacific islander caucus support comprehensive immigration reform including provisions that allow the best and the brightest from ruined the country to come to the united states and to contribute to making our country great, we also believe that there should be investments here in the united states to educate those of us here for these careers in the 21st century. colleges and universities in our country will produce three million stem majors in the next 10 years. still according to a 2012 report by the president's council of advisers on science and chnology, our economy will demand more students graduating with stem degrees than we are currently providing. so what can we do? we need to increase funding in stem education and follow the lead of our historically black college and universities and hispanic-serving institutions, which are producing a greater share of students with stem degrees. mong hbcu's they produce about 19% of all stem bachelor degrees. 38% of which are in the biological sciences. 31%
