Travelers near the U.S.-Mexico border would see warning signs about dangerous areas.

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to put up clear warning signs at U.S.-Mexico border crossings and nearby roads. These signs would inform travelers about dangerous areas identified by the Department of State's travel advisories. The goal is to help people make safer travel choices when crossing into Mexico.

What Would Change

Today, travelers crossing the U.S.-Mexico border by land might not be aware of specific dangers in nearby areas, even if the Department of State has issued travel advisories. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Homeland Security would install and maintain physical warning signs at land border crossings and on adjacent roads, clearly displaying these danger warnings in English and Spanish.

Key Provisions

Requires the Department of Homeland Security to set up a program to install and maintain warning signs near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Ensures signs would be placed at border crossings, on nearby roads, and in areas right next to the border, visible to drivers and walkers.
Requires signs to include the words "pursuant to the Nicholas Douglas Quets Border Travel Safety Act."
Makes sure signs would clearly warn travelers of dangerous areas, include a link to more safety information, be in English and Spanish, and be easy to update.
States that no new money would be set aside for this program; federal agencies would use their existing funds.
Clarifies that the bill does not allow the use of force against Mexico or anyone in Mexico.
