CITIZEN BORDER MISSIONS
See It For Yourself:
A Citizen's Border Experience
Witness the Border. Protect America.
The American Citizen Initiative offers a rare chance for everyday Americans to step beyond the headlines and experience the realities of our southern border firsthand. Through our guided ride-alongs and observation missions, participants travel alongside seasoned experts, patrol key areas, and get a taste of what our Border Patrol agents and local communities face every day. This is more than a tour - it’s an unfiltered view into the challenges, dangers, and dedication on the front lines.
These opportunities are designed to both inform and empower. You’ll learn directly from border security professionals, gain practical safety and situational awareness skills, and acquire a deeper understanding of the threats that define the crisis. Whether you join for a single mission or become a regular participant, you’ll return home with the knowledge and conviction to speak with authority about one of the most critical issues facing our nation.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The American Citizen Initiative’s border experience program exists to bring the situation on our southern border directly to the people who care most about America’s future - its citizens. We strip away the headlines, partisan spin, and filtered narratives to provide an unvarnished look at the challenges on the front lines.
Through hands-on ride-alongs, expert briefings, and direct engagement in border missions, participants gain knowledge that can’t be learned from a screen. Our goal is simple: take Americans to the border, show them what's happening, and send them home as informed, confident advocates ready to stand up for our nation’s security and sovereignty.
The Truth from the Front Lines
America’s borders are facing unprecedented strain, with millions of illegal crossings, record drug seizures, and rising criminal activity overwhelming communities and law enforcement.
It’s a crisis that statistics alone can’t capture - one you have to witness firsthand to truly understand.
