Per Wiki:

Enrique Morones was born in San Diego and is the son of Luis Morones and Laura Carega, and grandson of Mexican Union leader Luis Negrette Morones[2] He grew up in the area of Barrio Logan in a Catholic Mexican-American family. His father Luis Morones worked for the Mexico Fish and Game Department in San Diego before operating Aeroméxico’s operations in San Diego. [Source: Morones, Enrique (2012). The Power of One: The Story of the Border Angels. San Diego State University Press. p. 7.]

Enrique graduated from Saint Augustine High School in 1974 and was awarded a four-year scholarship to the University of San Diego where he studied a wide variety of subjects including psychology, oceanography, French and karate. He later transferred to San Diego State University first to run track, and later to study marketing, graduating with a degree in International Marketing. He would later return to the University of San Diego to complete a Masters in Executive Leadership. [Source: Morones, Enrique (2012). The Power of One: The Story of the Border Angels.

San Diego Padres
Enrique Morones was the Vice President of Latino Marketing for the professional baseball team, the San Diego Padres, which he joined in 1995 and worked for until 2001. [3] While working for the Padres, Enrique became the first person to receive dual US/Mexican nationality, and received his documents from Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo in 1998. [Source: Morones, Enrique (2012). The Power of One: The Story of the Border Angels. San Diego State University Press. p. 7.]

Border Angels
Enrique Morones founded San Diego-based human rights organisation Border Angels in 1986 after a meeting with Ethel Kennedy. Morones describes himself as a “proud American, and even prouder Mexican”.[4] On several occasions Morones has represented the Border Angels on television, including an interview by Tucker Carlson on the Fox News Network in January 2016. In this interview, Morones denied being prouder of his Mexican citizenship than his American citizenship.[5]
