"Founded by Enrique Morones in 1986, Border Angels is a non-profit organization supporting humanity. The organization consists of extraordinary volunteers who want to stop unnecessary deaths of individuals traveling through the Imperial Valley desert areas 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, in addition some have sadly been the results of racial-discrimination crimes. "
I'm pretty excited to be volunteering with this organization because I believe its purpose is very important. I believe very strongly in human and immigration rights. Some people might think that this organization is directly contributing to illegal immigration, but I believe that is not its ultimate purpose. Many people are dying while trying to cross the Mexican border, and this isn't right. I will be calling Isabel Montaño to let her know that I would be happy to be a part of her senior class volunteering team.
