According to NBC News, Jorge Mario-Cabrera, spokesman for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, CHIRLA said Alvarado and his wife "were so extremely disturbed" by the anti-immigrant rhetoric present in this campaign that their daughter encouraged and assisted them in obtaining their citizenship prior to the election.
The moment was so iconic that Alvarado was even serenaded by mariachi band to celebrate.
