According to the American Immigration Council, nearly one in five people who live in Hawai’i was born in another country. Foreign-born residents represent a vital share of the state’s labor force: over a third of healthcare support workers are immigrants, as are nearly two-fifths of the state’s farmers, fishers, and foresters. Immigrants own over a quarter of businesses in Hawai’i. As neighbors, business owners, taxpayers, and workers, immigrants are an integral part of Hawai’i’s diverse and thriving communities. The Clinic was established to ensure that Hawaii’s most vulnerable immigrants would have access to legal services.
