U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske will visit McAllen on Wednesday to promote a new media campaign designed to deter illegal immigration from Central America.

Called "Know the Facts," the campaign targets Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

“This campaign is designed to educate would-be travelers in Central America and Mexico about the realities of the journey north—human smugglers have no regard for human life,” Kerlikowske said, according to a news release from Customs and Border Protection. “It is critical that they are aware of the facts behind U.S. immigration policies before risking their lives. There are no ‘permisos.’”
