A massive trucker convoy, known as the Southern Border Convoy, is on its way to the Texas-Mexico border, gaining traction as a peaceful protest. With nearly three-quarters of a million vehicles expected to participate, the coalition emphasizes the threat to national security due to the border situation. The organizers invite a diverse group, including law enforcement, military, veterans, business owners, and citizens, to join the peaceful assembly and prayer on February 3, 2024.
U.S. Rep. Keith Self from Texas discussed the convoy on Fox Business, highlighting its purpose and emphasizing the commitment to peaceful demonstration. The event, named “Take Our Border Back,” starts from Virginia Beach and travels through Texas, Arizona, and California. The congressman addressed concerns about maintaining peace with the large convoy, stating, “This should be a peaceful movement of the American people joined by other nations.”
The convoy represents a collective call for the Biden administration to enforce existing laws and secure the border amidst the growing frustration of citizens.
