At the office or at home, I love telling a good story. Here I am sharing a tale with my family.

I'm facing a challenge I can only meet with your help.

The goal is to provide news about immigration that is fresh, relevant and attuned to San Diego's diverse convictions and cultures.

Through this blog, and longer reports in the U-T, I aspire to provide a vivid portrait of the area's shifting demographics and their social repercussions.

As the 2010 Census unfolds, you can look here for new facts and figures about your neighborhood and far-away neighbors.

Listen here for the entire spectrum of local voices in the debate about legal and illegal immigration.

Look here for useful analysis and context on immigration enforcement, legislative action, workplace issues and academic studies.

Above all, please join in and help me create a news blog that serves as a clearinghouse of information for curious minds, one that offers personal perspectives that stimulate an informed debate.

In the end, it's your story that I want to tell.

Send an e-mail to morgan.lee@uniontrib.com, or drop me a line at (619) 293-1251.
