"Yo creo en la misión de Esperanza, por la pasión con la que ellos han trabajado y demostrado su autentico compromiso con la comunidad Hispana de los Estados Unidos. Las bases bíblicas y éticas de Esperanza han sido esenciales para lograr este trabajo en pro de la comunidad inmigrante, el cual creo que tendrá sus frutos con la bendición de Dios y veremos históricamente una Reforma Migratoria Comprensiva que impactara y traerá paz y justicia social a este país."
