Sofia Cruz, daughter of undocumented immigrant managed to cross the strict security barrier and reached Pope Francis.  The pope was on a parade through Washington DC during his first visit to the US. The girl was initially stopped by the security guards, but the Pope waved her forward.

The Pope gave Sofia a hug and a kiss and took her note that included a drawing with a message in Spanish.  The message said “My friends and I love each other no matter our skin colour.”

About 11 million people, some with native-born children, live in the US illegally.  Immigration stands to be a major issue in the US presidential race.

Sofia and her parents, who are from Mexico but now live in a suburb of Los Angeles, said they hope the Pope will speak about the immigration issue when he addresses the US Congress on Thursday.

  1. I am curious to find out what blog system you’re using?
    I’m having some minor security issues with my latest website and I’d like
    to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any suggestions?

  2. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout
    of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got
    to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or
    two images. Maybe you could space it out
    better? I saw similar here: najlepszy sklep and also here: sklep internetowy
