EAGLE PASS, Texas (Border Report) — Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, unveiled a billboard campaign to deal with illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Speaking from a remote ranch on Thursday just north of Eagle Pass, Abbott was joined by Texas Border Czar Mike Banks, Department of Public Safety Director Freeman Martin, Adjutant General of Texas Maj. Gen. Thomas Suelzer, and Rose Luna, CEO of the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault. Abbott was also joined by the owners of the ranch, Kimberly and Martin Wall.
The new campaign involves putting up dozens of billboards in Mexico and several Central American countries to warn migrants about the dangers of crossing the border, especially sexual assault against women and children.
