Pacific News Service: "When longtime San Diego Latino marketer Enrique Morones read about the death of Guillermo Martínez Rodríguez at the hands of a Border Patrol agent on Dec. 30, he knew he had to do something.
"Morones is no stranger to the issue of illegal immigration from Mexico into the United States. He is the founder and director of Border Angels, a non-profit organization that leaves water in the desert during the summer and blankets and food in the mountains during winter for immigrants trying to cross the border...
"The result is the Migrant March, a caravan that Morones and two friends (Vicente Rodríguez and Felipe Curiel) started on Feb. 2 in San Diego. The caravan - which arrived in Fresno last Saturday and has passed through Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento - is scheduled to visit Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and North Carolina before arriving in Washington D.C. on Feb. 18.
Morones, 49, says he has to do something to change the current anti-immigrant landscape.
