EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — The Department of Homeland Security is warning undocumented immigrants that if they get deported they won’t be able to come back.
“You will never return,” said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
However, those who decide to leave on their own might be allowed back in the future.
Noem announced a series of ads that will run on radio, broadcast and digital, and in multiple countries, regions and dialects warning migrants not to come and those here to leave.
According to a news release, the multimillion-dollar ad campaign will be “hyper-targeted,” including through social media, text message and digital to reach immigrants in the interior of the United States, as well as internationally.
DHS said the ads will warn undocumented aliens to leave the U.S. country now or face deportation with the inability to return. In contrast, the international ads warn criminals not to come to America or “they will be hunted down and deported.”
“President Trump has a clear message: if you are here illegally, we will find you and deport you,” Noem said in a statement. “But if you leave now, you may have an opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American Dream.”
Added Noem: “If you are a criminal alien considering entering America illegally: Don’t even think about it. … Criminals are not welcome in the United States.”
