Washington, D.C. – The Center for Immigration Studies will host a panel to discuss a new report, Harnessing the State Department to Lead U.S. Foreign Policy that Fights Illegal Immigration and Promotes Border Security, which includes key policy recommendations for the next administration. The event will be open to the media and the public.
Participants:
Christopher Landau: Former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico (2019-2021)
Phillip Linderman: Retired Senior Foreign Service Officer, State Department, Board Member, Center for Immigration Studies
Jessica Vaughan: Former Consular Officer, State Department,
Director of Policy Studies, Center for Immigration Studies
Moderator: Mark Krikorian, Executive Director, Center for Immigration Studies
The report highlights the need for the Department of State, the lead U.S. foreign agency, to play a key role in tackling the current migration crisis. The panel discussion will explore how a coordinated approach within the next administration could empower State and other foreign affairs agencies to combat illegal immigration and help alleviate the enforcement burden. From visa issuance to integrating State Department activities with DHS, DOJ and other federal and state authorities to international diplomacy, the report underscores the potential of a “whole-of-government” effort to address border security effectively.
