The “Take Back Our Border” convoy arrived in Quemado, Texas, on Friday, February 2, at the Cornerstone Children’s Ranch. This convoy aims to raise awareness about the crisis at the southern border, specifically addressing the illegal crossings of thousands of migrants.
Despite Governor Greg Abbott’s efforts to combat what he calls President Biden’s “lawless policies” regarding mass illegal immigration, people from different states have driven all the way down to Texas to show their support for defending and securing the border.
