Stay where you are. That's the message Texas Governor Greg Abbott has for people trying to cross into the country illegally.
From a ranch near the Mexico border, Abbott rolled out his latest effort to slow the flow of migrants illegally crossing into Texas.
The plan involves dozens of billboards in Mexico and Central America telling horror stories to deter migrants from entering. "One of them says: How much did you pay to have your daughter raped?" he reads, referring to the Cartels and human traffickers.
Abbott also commented on Trump’s family separation policy in the upcoming mass deportation, "The family gets to choose, are they gonna remain together? That's a family choice, not a choice by the Trump administration."
He says the signs have been posted in Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Spanish.
"These billboards tell the horror stories of human trafficking," a statement from Abbott reads. "They implore those people in Central America to consider the violent, horrific realities of what will happen to the women and children they bring with them. Through Operation Lone Star, we have done some incredible work to stop illegal border crossers.
"But this new effort is about stopping their journey from even beginning in the first place. Until President Donald Trump is back in the White House to secure our border once again, we will continue to take every step necessary to defend Texas.”
