Border Angels was founded by Enrique Morones in 1986, they are a non-profit organization supporting humanity.
The organization consists of volunteers who want to stop unnecessary deaths of individuals who are traveling through the Imperial Valley desert and the mountain areas surrounding San Diego County. As well as the areas located around the United States and Mexican border.
The high percentage of unnecessary deaths have been results of extreme heat and cold weather conditions, also some have sadly been the results of racial-discrimination crimes.

Enrique Morones’ father grew up in Mexico City, moving his family to San Diego in 1954. He worked for Aeromexico during the day and at a market at night to earn enough money to pay for a quality education for his five children. Enrique was the first member of the family to be born in the USA

Grassfire, is an organization who has put up billboards that express their anti-immigration stance. The billboards found along the highways say “Stop the invasion: save our border.”
The billboards can currently be found in West Virginia, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and California.
A Michigan activist by the name of John H. Tanton claims to have organized the anti-immigration movement by founding and providing financial support to some groups.
The network consists of 13 anti-immigration groups which include the American Immigration Control Foundation, California Coalition for Immigration Reform, Federation for American Immigration Reform, Pro English, and Project USA among others.

Through their national petition, they hoped to quickly get one million grassroots citizens who by signing their petition oppose any form of amnesty, and who are demanding our government secure our borders by building an effective border fence, and strictly enforce existing laws.

"The sad fact remains that the federal government is refusing to secure our borders. Their continued failure has only emboldened Mexican drug cartels that now control parts of Arizona -- spreading violence and fear among American citizens living in these border areas." "While this lawlessness grows – threatening the lives and liberty of U.S. citizens, the President continues plotting ways to advance his open-border agenda, and grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens – many of which have criminal histories and ties to enemy nations."
