The U.S.-Mexico border has become the focal point of the complex policy debates surrounding immigration, trade, and security. How does the U.S. ensure its security while facilitating trade? Is border fortification the best way to stop unauthorized migration and trafficking in drugs and humans? And what about south-bound inspections to disrupt firearms trafficking and money laundering? Join our panelists for a discussion of these and other issues related to this vital border area.
