KPBS Investigative Border Reporter Gustavo Solis will discuss this relationship with a panel of experts, who will be taking audience questions. Guests include: Denice Garcia, Chief of Staff for San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas Ernesto Bravo, West Division President of Tecma Joe Smith, Senior Vice President of CBRE: Global Commercial Real Estate Services Kurt Honold, Secretary of Economy and Innovation Baja California Paola Avila, Chief of Staff for Mayor Todd Gloria A catered reception will follow the event.
