Politico: Poverty, immigration top Dem wish-list for pope

Now Democrats see a chance to use the pope's appearance to advance their own political agenda. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is also planning a series of events this week to coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month and the pope's visit to encourage Congress to take up immigration reform. "Pope Francis, we ask you to use your voice to help us advocate for the undocumented and people living in poverty in our community," said Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) in one of the videos.
