before a joint meeting of congress. >> i hope the often words of encouragement to guide the nations in the future. >> reporter: while the vatican has kept a tight lid on what he will say, the holy father is expected to talk about immigration, a hot button issue he urged bishops to fight for during his first full day in washington, d.c. 5-year-old sophie cruz handed a letter to pope francis wednesday hoping francis delivers her plea to lawmakers today. >> our immigration my dad in this country. [ inaudible ]. >> reporter: on wince, francis made an visit to the little sisters of the poor. a religious order that is suing the federal government over the birth control mandate in president obama's affordable care act. >> climate change is a problem. >> reporter: it's likely he'll also bring up climate change, another controversial issue.

to his heart but subjects of intense debate here. in fact, yesterday, the pope was not afraid to make a not so subtle point on immigration. >> i am happy to be a guest in this country. >> reporter: after he left the white house, it was 5-year-old sophie cruz, the daughter of illegal immigration who brought the issue to the pope. >> i saw the pope. >> reporter: what did you give him? >> a letter. >> reporter: her trip was sponsored by an advocacy group. she traveled to washington with her father to deliver a handwritten letter asking francis to urge congress to help all immigrant children. >> i believe i have the right to live with my parents. i have the right to be happy. >> reporter: the pope is also

expected to continue his conversation on climate change. >> climate change is a problem. >> reporter: he'll be speaking to a congress where republicans have resisted climate change legislation. >> there is no one who wants the earth to turn into a trashy. >> reporter: but it will be hard for members on either side of the debate to use the pope's message for a political advantage. >> yes, the pope talks about climate change and immigration and caring for the poor in language that often sounds like it would fit with the democratic party, but, at the same time, this is a very strongly pro life group as well. >> reporter: now there is one subject the pope will not be bringing up here on capitol hill today. francis said he would not be talking about the cuban embargo today. juniper serra was canonized
