21st Century Border Initiative Webinar: The Governments Border Plan Is Working

NDN is excited to announce that we will be giving a webinar on February 25th, 2011 at 2:00 pm ET on how the Governments Border Plan Is Working.

We will be breaking out some of the statistics showing how the government is making the border safer in a presentation that clearly shows that the border is safer now then it has been at any other time.

This webinar is important for a couple of reasons:

1.  There is still a pervasive narrative in the nation that the border is out of control. Not only is this patently false  but it is hurtful on macro and a micro level.

On the macro level, Members of Congress say that without the border being secure they will not move on broader reforms.

On a micro level, the characterization that the border is out of control actually hurts the economies of the cities that neighbor the border.

The more that statistics and first hand accounts of what is actually happening on the border reach the  the harder it becomes for misinformation about what is happening on the border to be disseminated.

2.  By presenting these border statistics in a clear way, NDN hopes to facilitate a conversation about what is actually being done to make our south west border safer.

If there are statistics that are presented in this presentation that raise skepticism, this webinar is your opportunity to raise questions about the strategy currently being employed along the border.

It is imperative that people from all over the country weigh in on this as it informs the debate and creates a constructive back and forth conversation about what can be done to create a more harmonious southern border region.

Ahead of the webinar be sure to check out some of the work we have done highlighting the improvements made on the border:
