CAMPAIGN 2008
‘Your Vote Is Your Voice’
Jamie Reno 2/4/2008 12:00:00 AM
Enrique Morones, founder and president of the Border Angels humanitarian group, is the organizer of Marcha Migrante, the catalyst for the massive nationwide immigration demonstrations in the spring of 2006. This week in San Diego, Morones kicks off Marcha Migrante III, an effort to increase Latino registration and turnout in the 2008 election. Morones, who was born and raised in San Diego and in 1998 became the first American to be granted dual citizenship with Mexico, is a frequent subject of verbal assaults from anti-immigration groups and pundits. He has worked for corporate America, including a stint as a marketing executive for the San Diego Padres, and has strong opinions on all the 2008 presidential candidates and their outreach to Hispanics. He spoke to NEWSWEEK'S Jamie Reno about the campaign and the increasingly influential Latino vote. Excerpts:
