Our Southern Border and Illegal Crossings

We’ve all heard the rhetoric, but are closed borders safer than open borders? How did we get here? In the 1990s, immigration officials spent billions on creating deterrence to illegal crossings. Thirty years later, it seems few are deterred. Immigration activist Jenn Budd – formerly a Senior Patrol Agent with the US Border Patrol in San Diego, a Senior Intelligence Agent at San Diego Sector Headquarters, and an Acting Supervisory Border Patrol Agent – will help us get into the nitty gritty of our border: why people are crossing illegally, why the current policies aren’t working, and what needs to be done to alleviate this dire situation.

You may (but don't have to) RSVP on Meetup.

After the assembly, we will be hosting Connection Lab, and providing food for folks who attend the assembly and stay after for that event. Please RSVP for that separately here.

In the corner of the box with your face in it, you can choose to hide yourself from your view, so you won't find looking at yourself so distracting. Also, it'll make more space on your screen to see others.

Sunday Assembly San Diego is an inclusive non-religious community that meets monthly to hear inspirational talks, connect for service projects, sing songs and generally celebrate life.

We can't wait to see you all!
