Nicholas Douglas Quets Border Travel Safety Act

Border warning signs for travelers

If enacted, this bill would create a DHS program to put warning signs near the U.S.-Mexico land border. Customs and Border Protection would lead the work with the State Department and GSA. Signs would warn about dangerous areas named in State Department travel advisories. They would link to the State travel advisory website or a QR code and be in English and Spanish, with other languages as the State Department advises. Signs would have to include the phrase "pursuant to the Nicholas Douglas Quets Border Travel Safety Act." DHS would place and maintain signs at land ports of entry and nearby roads, review signs yearly, and report to Congress within one year after enactment. The bill would not authorize new funding; DHS and State would use existing resources. The bill would also say nothing in it authorizes the use of force against Mexico.
