http://www.democracynow.org - President Obama has traveled to Mexico for a two-day visit to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. Part of their talks are focused on U.S. immigration reform. Outside the U.S. embassy in Mexico City, protesters have called on Obama to keep his promise to overhaul the nation's immigration laws. We're joined by Marco Castillo, an organizer with "Migrant Families Popular Assembly" and the "Acción Migrante" campaign. Citing the continued deaths of migrant workers trying to make their way north from Mexico, Castillo calls for human rights, not "border security," to be the focus of policy changes. "We're going through a humanitarian crisis on the borders of the U.S. and Mexico," Castillo says.
