Enrique Morones: Border Angels, Border Realities, and Immigration Today

Long-time, internationally known human rights activist Enrique Morones founded the non-profit Border Angels in 1986, an organization that places food, water, and other provisions in the desert on the border areas to help migrants survive the extreme heat and cold weather conditions.

Enrique Morones has been featured on NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, BBC, NPR, HBO, The Today Show, Univision's Don Francisco Presenta, Televisa Nacional, Rocio en Telemundo and countless other international media around the world.

Mr. Morones is recognized as one of the 100 most influential Latinos in the USA by Hispanic Business Magazine, and he was recently named Mexico?s 2009 Human Rights Awardee by Mexico?s Commission on Human Rights.
