Alexia’s death in a city so accustomed to death struck a nerve because she was, in this city tortured by killings, broad-daylight gun battles and rampant kidnappings, an innocent victim.
That description isn’t redundant in a country in the grip of a raging drug war: The vast majority of the thousands of dead are thought to have some connection to the cartels. They have been hired hit men, drug runners, corrupt police officers.”*

MIGRANT MARCH II
Dear Friends and Supporters:
We ask you to support this second year endeavor – MIGRANT MARCH II - to educate and mobilize communities throughout the United States in favor of fair immigration reform and demilitarization of the border.
The Mexican American Political Association expresses complete support for the MIGRANT MARCH II, organized by Enrique Morones, and the Border Angels and Gente Unida of California, and calls on all people of conscious to join us in making this year’s march a success.

MIGRANT MARCH II (February 2-17, 2006) San Diego to Brownsville to San Diego
The eve of International Migrants Day Monday December 18th Enrique Morones announced MIGRANT MARCH II as he stood at the wall of OPERATION GATEKEEPER (the wall of shame, the wall of death) on the Mexican side of the border @ Playas de Tijuana, amongst hundreds of supporters.
“MIGRANT MARCH I” was a huge success as a caravan of vehicles crossed the country San Diego to DC and back (February 2-28, 2006) demanding justice for the migrants, no more deaths, asking the communities to take to the street and march against 4437 & support humane and comprehensive immigration reform. In the Spring immediately following MARCHA MIGRANTE I, 5 million people marched !
This coming year MARCHA MIGRANTE II will again start February 2 in San Diego and this time instead of crossing country, they will cross the entire US/MEXICO Border, from San Diego to Brownsville, Texas and back (Feb 2 – 17, 2007) which will culminate with an ALL PEOPLE’S IMMIGRATION HEARING in San Diego on February 17.
The caravan will gather stories along the border journey and share these stories at the February 17th event as well as take these stories directly to Washington DC as “we want humane and comprehensive immigration reform now!, we marched, we voted and now that the Democrats are in control of the house we want action” states Enrique Morones of BORDER ANGELS & GENTE UNIDA the originator of the MARCHA’S MIGRANTE.
MARCHA MIGRANTE II is finalizing plans for this historic trek and welcomes others to join in participation, “this is as grass roots as grass roots gets and its up to the people to say where, when and what we will do during the “MARCH/CARAVAN”.
MARCHA MIGRANTE I, was a huge success and we want to thanks all that supported us, this year has again generated tremendous interest and we are looking forward to visiting communities along the entire 10 state US/MEXICO border, on both sides of the border, join us”. Enrique Morones
