Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took her immigration reform plea directly to the White House on Tuesday morning, joining a group of migrants asking the U.S. government to grant them amnesty.

The migrants fled their home countries after disasters on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) orders that allowed them to relocate to the United States. 

A lawsuit filed on their behalf this week includes 15,000 migrants affected by a 2015 earthquake in Nepal and 86,000 Hondurans who were displaced by a 1998 hurricane.

They want U.S. lawmakers to make them 'permanent' residents as part of an immigration overhaul.

'We are fighting for the longstanding principle, and the longstanding that the people who built this country, stay in this country,' Ocasio-Cortez told the group protesting outside the Whie House amid light rain.
