In its third year, the annual Metropolis North America Migration Policy Forum has become an important three-country platform for exchanging evidence-based ideas and practices on migration. The Forum enables participants to share knowledge and key lessons around the United States, Mexico and Canada\u2019s migration policies and trends. Respect and recognition of borders, boundaries and jurisdictions remain at the very center of North American debates over migration. Addressing challenges to national migration systems in North America requires ongoing interaction and cooperation between the three countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
