The event will be livestreamed from Sunland Park, New Mexico at the U.S. Southern Border Wall, which was built entirely with private funds from American citizens through a viral GoFundMe campaign. Situated at the intersection of Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico, the newly-erected segment of the wall is approximately 30 miles from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Station in Clint, TX.

Sponsors of the symposium include Numbers USA, Angel Families, Black Americans for a Better Future, Citizens of the American Republic, Citizens United, FreedomWorks, Human Events, and We Build the Wall, Inc.

We Build the Wall, Inc., which is providing the location for the livestream, was founded by triple-amputee Air Force Veteran Brian Kolfage.

Some of the important issues that will be discussed and debated include: human and drug trafficking; border security; immigration; citizenship; asylum; detections centers; law enforcement and ICE; the role of Congress; foreign policy; and the economic implications of unfettered illegal immigration.

The symposium commences with a reception Thursday evening and features a full range of speakers, workshops, and panel discussions on Friday and Saturday. Speakers, media, and guests will be provided a full tour and technical briefing of the recently completed segment of the Border Wall.

“We are at a breaking point. It is urgent for our nation to fully address the human and drug trafficking and reality of life on the border, the challenges to patriots in law enforcement who defend our borders, and the numbers of people crossing over our southern border illegally,” said Kris Kobach, General Counsel for We Build the Wall, Inc., “We the people of the United States must acknowledge this crisis. I challenge those leaders who oppose us to come join us and present their case.”
