Advocacy

Research
Migration is a complex phenomenon and for this reason, the Kino Border Initiative recognizes the importance of providing a space in which scholars and students can do research on migration and help find solutions to pressing policy issues. Past researchers have investigated topics such as service learning, nursing care for women migrants and the effects of security policies on the U.S./Mexico border. If you are interested in visiting KBI to engage in research, please contact Pedro De Velasco, Director of Education and Advocacy at pdevelasco@kinoborderinitiative.org.

Advocacy
The KBI’s advocacy efforts are rooted in Catholic teaching and are a response to the human realities that we encounter at the border. We partner with other organizations to advocate in the US and Mexico for policies that advance humane, just and workable migration in the region. KBI’s advocacy is supported by a survey in its Aid Center for Migrants to obtain basic information about the people served and to document abuses committed against them as well as ongoing, in-depth documentation of migrants’ experiences in Mexico and the U.S.

“Our willingness to defend migrants is a matter of life or death in the most literal sense. Our willingness to protect the institution of the family is critical to the well-being of society.”

– Fr. Sean Carroll

“My demand would be for a more humane immigration system”

– Canisius College student
