Mexican priest fights for immigration reform in U.S.

Rev. Alejandro Solalinde is known for his migrant shelter in Mexico and is part of a group of migrants that are traveling together from Los Angeles to Washington to push for immigration reform. While pushing for immigration reform, Rev. Alejandro Solalinde not only wants his voice heard in the debate but the voices of "Not just the voice of the north, but the voice of the south, the voice of the poor, the voice of the migrants." Although he knows he does not have much power and his voice might get drowned out, Solanlinda is courageous. The rest of the group is  lobbying for a path to citizenship and greater attention to the human cost of immigration policies.
