DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Launches Ad Campaign Warning Criminal Illegal Aliens Not to Come to America

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday announced a multimillion-dollar domestic and international ad campaign warning criminal illegal aliens against coming to the United States.

The domestic version of the minute-long ad, which features DHS Secretary Noem speaking in front of a backdrop of American Flags, mugshots of arrested illegal aliens, and footage from the southern border, warns illegal aliens to leave the U.S. now or face deportation.

“The choice is yours,” Noem says in the ad. Those who are deported will be permanently barred from the United States, but if those who are here illegally leave now of their own accord, they might have the chance to return, she explains.

WATCH:

The international version of the ad warns criminal illegal aliens “not to come to America and break its laws or they will be hunted down and deported.”

The ad campaign will run on radio, broadcast and digital media in multiple countries and regions in various languages, according to the DHS.

The agency says the campaign will be “hyper-targeted,” including through social media and text messages, to reach illegal immigrants in the interior of the U.S. and international populations.

The transcript of the ad reads:

“Thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for securing our border and putting America first. President Trump has a clear message: if you are here illegally, we will find you and deport you. You will never return. But if you leave now, you may have an opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American Dream. If you are a criminal alien considering entering America illegally: Don’t even think about it.  If you come here and break our laws, we will hunt you down. Criminals are not welcome in the United States.”
