Media Advisory - Protecting Our Borders
National Journal LIVE Policy Summit
WASHINGTON, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Border security is one of the steepest challenges facing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The recent fatal incidents along the U.S. - Mexico border underscore the stakes involved. What is being done to prevent illegal immigration and the flow of contraband into the United States? Is it enough?
A distinguished panel, moderated by James Kitfield, senior correspondent, National Journal, will explore policy options for better securing our southern and northern borders at a time when budget pressures are prompting Congress and the White House to take a hard look at spending priorities.
David V. Aguilar, deputy commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be the keynote speaker for the event on March 28, 2011 at Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. The event will be hosted by National Journal and underwritten by FLIR.
