An enormous convoy of truckers is set to journey through three states to key migrant hotspots, aiming to spotlight the escalating crisis and prompt White House action.
In an impressive display, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of large trucks will converge on Eagle Pass, Texas, Yuma, Arizona, and San Ysidro, California starting January 29 for the ‘Take Back Our Border’ event, spanning four days.
Their aim is to cast a spotlight on the record influx of migrants crossing the southern border, causing strain on many cities struggling to provide adequate care. Texas Congressman Keith Self, a Republican, declared, “Once again, the truckers are standing for We the People”
“The time is NOW to take action and secure our borders!”
This move marks a new phase in the heated political battle, with Texas challenging federal authority. Governor Greg Abbott has accused the Biden Administration of failing to adequately manage the influx of illegal immigrants into Texas
Andrew Mahaleris, speaking for Governor Abbott, argued that the lack of razor wire and similar deterrents encourages risky and unlawful crossings. He affirmed that the governor “will continue fighting to defend Texas’ property and its constitutional authority to secure the border.”
The federal government has set a January 26 deadline for Texas to grant Border Patrol agents access to Shelby Park, from which they have been barred. The consequences of Texas’ non-compliance by this Friday remain unclear.
San Antonio Congressman Joaquin Castro escalated the situation, suggesting that President Biden might need to resort to using force. Castro’s statement on social media highlighted Governor Greg Abbott’s use of the Texas National Guard to disrupt border operations.
25 Governors Support Abbott
Abbott’s stance has significant backing, with 25 Republican state governors endorsing his actions. Congressman Keith Self, speaking to Fox Business News, pointed out the escalating border crisis, referencing the active involvement of various governors and the arrival of a trucker convoy.
A Boiling Point
“I think the border has now reached a boiling point, that you now see governors getting involved,’ Self expressed. “We have a trucker convoy coming down to the border. The American people are going to have to get involved.”
Cross-Country Journey
The organizers of the trucker convoy are calling on all peaceful Americans to join the movement starting Monday. The convoy will travel across the country, culminating on January 29th, and will conclude with rallies in Eagle Pass, Yuma, Arizona, and San Ysidro, California on February 3rd.
