Need to take a break during the work day? You’re invited to join CIR members for an exclusive conference call with Andrew Becker and G.W. Schulz, CIR’s homeland and border security reporters, on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. PDT.

Becker and Schulz’s recent reporting, Crossing the Line, has uncovered shocking practices by the U.S. Border Patrol and surprising data about the individuals being caught at the U.S.-Mexico border. Check out all of their reporting for more information. Need more? Follow them on Twitter @AbeckerCIR and @GWSchulzCIR.

Don’t miss your chance to listen to Becker and Schulz discuss what really happens with our border security and surveillance when you double the size of a governmental agency like the Border Patrol (hint: It’s not what you would expect).
