Federal agencies would post border travel warnings using existing funds

Homeland Security would run a program to install and maintain travel warning signs. Signs would cover nearby dangers identified in State Department travel advisories and appear at appropriate U.S.–Mexico land crossings and nearby routes used by travelers crossing the border. Installation, maintenance, and updates would be required as far as practical. Homeland Security and State would use existing funds; no additional funding would be authorized.

Signs would warn about nearby areas flagged as dangerous in State Department travel advisories and point travelers to more safety information. The signs would use English and Spanish. These content rules would apply as far as practical, using existing department funds. Homeland Security could select other languages after consulting State. Homeland Security would review signs with State each year and update them as needed when travel advisories change.
