Description

This meeting aims to identify key issues in contemporary border security and migration in both the United States and Mexico, with regard to both longer term undocumented and other immigrants who may be subject to deportation, and also to newly arriving migrants including asylum seekers. It will also discuss short and long term implications of recent revisions to government policies including collaborations between the two governments, as well as recent judicial interventions on issues of migration and border control.

The event will be both in English and Spanish with simultaneous translation.
