Several years ago, a San Diego man’s touching YouTube duet with his young daughter captured the hearts of America and catapulted him to instant fame.

... Today, Jorge Narvaez is singing the same tune but with a different purpose. He’s lending his voice to the ongoing debate over immigration in hopes of helping his mother, Esther Alvarado, 45.

Narvaez said the song “Home” has a deeper meaning now. It’s the family’s theme song to help bring his mother back home to San Diego.

Alvarado – a citizen of Mexico – was detained last month by immigration authorities after taking part in a protest alongside other Mexican mothers separated from their families in the United States.

The women marched through Mexico before surrendering themselves to U.S. Border Patrol agents in San Diego’s Otay Mesa area, seeking asylum. However, they were denied that asylum and detained by authorities.
