Some community members say the immigration system is broken and it's time for change.

   
That's Sonny Garcia with the Central Illinois Organizing Project.

   
Associate Pastor at Restoration Christian Church in Bloomington David Santana Jr. is part of the movement. He says it's personal for him because his father at age 17 escaped from Cuba and most of his church members are Hispanic immigrants.

   
ISU student Daniel Ramirez is helping out with the movement. He says the reform they are pushing would benefit both immigrants and America.

   
The local community members are part of a larger movement. You can find more information at www.reformimmigrationforamerica.org.
