On February 21, the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) hosted a webinar and discussion, "Telling the Truth about the Border: A Humane Vision for Border Management." Experts from the US-Mexico border spoke about the realities along the border and the human consequences of US border enforcement policy. They also reacted to a recent failed border agreement in Congress, and offered more humane and effective ways to manage migration at the US-Mexico border moving forward.

Speakers included:
- Most Reverend Mark J. Seitz, Bishop of El Paso, Texas, and Chairman of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Migration
- Joanna Williams, Executive Director, Kino Border Initiative, Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico
- Guerline M. Jozef, Founder and Executive Director, Haitian Bridge Alliance, San Diego, CA
- Dylan Corbett, Executive Director, Hope Border Institute, El Paso, Texas

Kevin Appleby, Senior Fellow for Policy & Communications at CMS, moderated the discussion.
