NEW YOU: U.S. Customs and Border Protection has started a new campaign called, “Know the Facts,” which aims at bringing awareness to the challenges one faces when attempting to enter the United States illegally.
The campaign was launched on July 20 in multiple countries, including Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
“This campaign is designed to educate would be travelers in Central America and Mexico about the realities of the journey north – humans smugglers have no regard for human life,” said CBP Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowake. “It is critical that they are aware of the facts behind the U.S. Immigration policies before risking their lives. There are no ‘permisos.’”
The purpose of this campaign is so awareness for the U.S. immigration policies improve and for the enforcement to be enhanced on the U.S. border by stating the facts behind the U.S. immigration policies.
