DETAILS: The U.S. Mexico Binational Council, co-sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Mexico City-based Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM), is a high-level entity composed of distinguished citizens from both nations who share a commitment to fostering the U.S.-Mexico relationship. The publication of policy recommendations on the central issues dominating the binational agenda is the productive objective of the Council; at the strategic level, the Council reinforces the commitment of both nations to developing a collaborative agenda which addresses the challenges as well as the immense opportunities arising from the bilateral relationship.
"Managing Mexican Migration to the United States" and "U.S.-Mexico Border Security and the Evolving Security Relationship" are the two latest studies undertaken by the U.S.-Mexico Binational Council. The report on border security was presented to both houses of the Mexican Congress on April 14-15, 2004, and will serve as a briefing document for the 2004 U.S.-Mexico Interparliamentary Group Meeting. The report on Mexican migration has not yet been made public.
