Welcome to the US/Mexico Border Counties Coalition Site!
The United States/Mexico Border Counties Coalition is a nonpartisan, consensus-based policy and technical forum to address challenges facing county governments located on the United States/Mexico Border. The elected officials from the twenty-four county governments located on the United States/Mexico Border established the Coalition. These county governments face unique challenges in serving their residents. The Coalition recognizes that notwithstanding the differences among the participating counties - some are large, some are small, some are urban and some are rural - there are a number of issues that are common to all Border Counties.
