The Take Our Border Back Convoy is making its way to different parts of the U.S.-Mexico border and making several stops along the way. One group started in Virginia and has arrived in Dripping Springs, Texas, after stops in Jacksonville, Fla., and Baton Rouge, La. The group will have a “pep rally” at 5 p.m. CST in Dripping Springs, on the outskirts of Austin. On Saturday, part of that group will head to the border town of Quamado, Texas. Others will head from Dripping Springs to Yuma, Arizona, and a third group is rallying in San Ysidro, California and will also caravan to Yuma.
Members of the convoy say they are fed up with the Biden administration allegedly not enforcing immigration laws and allowing a record number of unauthorized non-citizens to remain in the country. They say they want to peacefully protest and call on the U.S. government to secure the border with Mexico.
