Texas buys billboards in Central America warning migrants of danger of rape and abuse on journey to US

The Texas government has initiated a campaign to deter illegal immigration by purchasing billboards in Central America, specifically in Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, warning potential migrants of the dangers they might face on their journey to the U.S. These billboards, part of a broader $1.5 million advertising effort, feature stark messages about the risks of rape, abuse, and kidnapping, alongside images of border walls and armed guards. The campaign aims to highlight the perils of illegal border crossing, including the possibility of death, and informs migrants about the legal consequences of illegal entry into the U.S., such as deportation and a five-year ban on re-entry. This move comes as part of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's strategy to manage the influx of migrants at the southern border, amidst ongoing political debates over immigration policy.
