texas, governor abbot, is trying new ways to deter border problems;
In 2005, the Mexican government distributed comic-book-style manuals instructing migrants on how to enter and remain in the U.S. illegally. Now, a generation later, new messages are being sent to would-be illegal aliens.
“How much did you pay to have your daughter raped? Many girls are raped by the coyotes you hire,” is one.
“Your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies,” reads another. “Coyotes lie. “Don’t put your family at risk.”
“Many girls who try to migrate to Texas are kidnapped,” yet another message warns. “For the sake of your family, stop.”
And, no, the above don’t come with trigger warnings.
It’s all part of an effort by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to deter illegal migration — via words of caution posted south of the border. As Newsweek reported Friday, Abbottunveiled a new cross-border billboard campaign Thursday, aimed at stopping migrants headed to the United States by showing “the horror stories of human trafficking”.
The $100,000 campaign in Mexico and Central America is part of the Republican’s ongoing efforts to curb illegal immigration across the state’s southern border.....more..........
