El Salvador’s leading prelate is urging President Barack Obama to address the issue of immigration reform during his March 22-23 visit to the Central American nation.
“We would like to ask the President of the United States for his efforts and his good will, so that complete immigration reform may take place during his presidency,” said Archbishop Escobar Alas of San Salvador. “We know that not everything depends on him, but we would hope anyway for a word of commitment, a word that somehow would give hope to achieving immigration reform.”
