Immigration Politics: California student leader's immigration status leads to DREAM Act rally

Go, Pedro!

California student leader's immigration status leads to DREAM Act rally - MiamiHerald.com: "Pedro Ramirez is best known as Fresno State's student body president. Far less public is his status as an illegal immigrant -- at least, until this week. That's when an anonymous e-mail, sent to The Bee and other media outlets, prompted Ramirez to confirm publicly that fact.

Now he's helping organize an on-campus rally Friday in support of the federal DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act. The legislation pending in Congress would allow some longtime residents like him to become legal U.S. residents after spending two years in college or the military." Nov. 18, 2010
