SATCHA PRETTO: And at this hour, pro-immigrant activists are fighting a real battle to legalize almost 7 million undocumented people. 

KARLA MARTÍNEZ: They are traveling to Washington, D.C. not just to support Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, but to petition that he ask his counterpart Joe Biden for an immigration reform during the so-called summit of the “Three Amigos” scheduled for this Thursday. 

EDWIN PITTI: Juan José, thank you for being with us here at Despierta América, to tell us what you want to ask the president of Mexico.

JUAN JOSÉ GUTIÉRREZ, ACTIVIST: That he defend the millions of undocumented Mexicans, and during his conversations with President Joseph Biden, he invite him to finish the immigration reform that is now in play as part of the reconciliation process that the Congress is about to approve as the final part of its economic budget. 

PITTI: The demand comes not just from activists here in Washington, but from all across the country. Next week, Karla and Satcha, the members of Congress are on Thanksgiving break so that's why it's so important for them to take action as soon as possible.
