about us
We are a non-profit organization that is dependent on volunteers. We advocate for human rights, humane immigration reform, and social justice. This work is done in an attempt to reduce the number of fatalities along the US-Mexico border by educating and assisting the communities on both sides of the border. Services include free immigration and employee rights consultation, educational programs, water drops in the desert, day labor outreach, and Caravans of Love to Tijuana to support and aid migrants that are in need.
Mission Statement
Border Angels promotes a culture of love through advocacy, education, by creating a social consciousness, and engaging in direct action to defend the rights of migrants and refugees.
Our History
Established in 1986 by founder Enrique Morones, Border Angels first focused on helping migrants living in the canyons of North San Diego County. Since then, we have expanded to conducting humanitarian work along the entire US-Mexico border region.
