The DREAMers Mother While the push for the DREAM Act inspired hundreds of young people to trek hundreds of miles by bus, ironically, it was one of the oldest people in the room, 44-year-old Alejandra Pimentel of Hamilton, Ohio, that stole the show in the end. A mother of four, Pimentel, has two children that are U.S. citizens and two others brought to the United States at ages 5 and 6. Her husband has been deported three times, and is in Mexico. She currently is fighting deportation proceedings for one of her sons. Pimentel, who suffers from Arthritis, looked past the tears welling up in her eyes with both hands on the altar staring down the teens hardened by years of living in fear of deportation. "I am so proud of everyone of you for fighting for your rights," she told them. "I support you as I support my own son."![DSC_0140]()
