US-Mexico Relations
Conversations at the crossroads of peace.
We view U.S.-Mexico relations at the border as more of an opportunity than a crisis. One of the world's most dynamic regions, it's marked by extreme highs and lows: a bustling economy and crushing poverty; unprecedented growth and staggering violence; progressive connectivity and deeply-entrenched discrimination. We conduct non-partisan research and analysis of the border's most pressing issues to encourage positive, creative solutions to localized conflict. We also meet with leading policymakers and visiting diplomats from around the world through public forums, closed-door meetings and other bridge-building outreach efforts. As partners in peace, we aim to speed up the pace of progress.
