Texas Governor Greg Abbott has launched a new campaign aimed at discouraging migrants from attempting to cross the southern border into the United States. The campaign includes the placement of 40 billboards across Central America and Mexico, warning individuals of the “horrific realities” they may face if they try to make the dangerous journey.
The billboards are strategically placed in areas where potential migrants may see them before making the decision to attempt to cross the border. The messages on the billboards warn of the dangers of human trafficking, violence, and other risks associated with crossing the border illegally.
Governor Abbott has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration’s immigration policies, and this campaign is seen as a part of his efforts to tackle the ongoing crisis at the southern border. The Governor has also deployed state resources to help secure the border and has called on the federal government to take stronger action to address the influx of migrants.
The campaign has already received mixed reactions, with some praising Governor Abbott for taking a proactive approach to addressing the border crisis, while others criticize the campaign for potentially spreading fear and misinformation. Regardless of the opinions, the billboards serve as a stark reminder of the harsh realities that migrants may face if they choose to cross the border illegally.
