Braver Angels Debate
Resolved: Our southern border should be closed.
Sunday, August 25, 2:00 - 4:00 PM PDT
Presented IN PERSON at the
Rincon Valley Regional Library
6959 Montecito Boulevard Santa Rosa, CA 95409
by the Sonoma County Alliance of Braver Angels
One of the hottest debates in the country today is around how we should treat our southern border with Mexico. Some argue that large-scale immigration is bad for the country and advocate building a wall and shutting down the border. Others argue that the “open” border allows immigration that is good for the country and the economy, and the right thing to do from a humanitarian perspective. And still others seek a return to historical immigration levels.
What is the right answer? Braver Angels is hosting a live debate with speakers offering different answers to the question.
Come join us for this debate, in which all participants from across the ideological spectrum will have an opportunity to speak and ask their questions. Tell us what you have experienced and what you think.
