As Pope Francis comes and visits the United States of America for all to greet, a young girl named Sophie Cruz runs up to him and tries to give him a letter. After being pushed away by security, the Pope gestures her to come to him. She gives him the letter, along with a t-shirt. In the letter she asked him to get President Obama and Congress to pass an immigration overhaul, so her Mexican immigrant parents can stay in the country. “My heart is sad,” she wrote in the letter, over the fear they will be deported. “I want to tell you that my heart is sad,” Sophie said, reciting to the Guardian from memory, the letter she had memorized in Spanish and English just before she met the pope. “I would like to ask you to speak with the president and the Congress in legalizing my parents because every day I am scared that one day they will take them away from me. I believe I have the right to live with my parents. I have the right to be happy,” she recited. She wore a traditional embroidered dress and her hair was pulled into two braids, twisting them from side to side as she read her letter. “All immigrants, just like my dad, help feed this country. They deserve to live with dignity. They deserve to live with respect. They deserve an immigration reform.” She was able to tell her letter to news casters in Spanish and English. She also enclosed a picture stating that, “My friends and I love each other no matter our skin color.”
