Americas Society/Council of the Americas will hold a public event on Central American development and migration.
In the wake of ongoing challenges at the U.S.-Mexico border, including growing numbers of migrants seeking asylum, increased border security, and potential restrictions on trade flows, it is timely to assess the root causes of this wave of migration from the Northern Triangle, and to evaluate how efforts to create a safer and more prosperous region might be improved.
