Hundreds gather in Texas as ‘Take Our Borders Back’ convoy arrives at border
Hundreds of Concerned Americans Rally to Secure the Southern Border
In a powerful display of unity, hundreds of concerned Americans from all corners of the country gathered at the Texas border as part of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy. Their mission: to rally in support of securing the United States’ southern border.
The convoy made its way to a private ranch in Quemado, Texas, a small town just north of Eagle Pass, a notorious hotspot for illegal border crossings. This area, once under the control of federal Border Patrol authorities, is now being managed by the Texas National Guard and Department of Public Safety. As the convoy arrived at the ranch, a long line of semi-trucks and passenger cars filed in, creating a powerful visual statement.

The rally commenced with uplifting performances of Christian music, setting the stage for a weekend of prayer and support for a secure border. The attendees, numbering around 300 vehicles, were welcomed onto the 10-acre ranch located just a stone’s throw away from the Rio Grande River. The Kinney County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the impressive turnout.
Anson Bills, the ranch manager, extended an invitation to Americans concerned about the border crisis. The goal was to provide a peaceful environment for prayer and to show solidarity with the law enforcement officials working tirelessly to address the crisis. As people arrived, they were greeted by waving flags and merchandise being sold on the street.

The Quemado rally was just one stop on the border convoy’s itinerary. The convoy split into different groups, with two other rallies taking place in San Ysidro, California, and Yuma, Arizona.
Republican Congressman Keith Self, representing Texas’ 3rd congressional district, attended the event. He had previously appeared in Eagle Pass to reaffirm his support for Governor Greg Abbott and other governors across the country who have taken action to secure the southern border.
The rally coincided with a heated feud between the Biden administration and Governor Greg Abbott over Shelby Park in Eagle Pass. Texas authorities defied the administration’s demand to relinquish control of the park to Border Patrol. Instead, they continued building razor wire barriers to deter illegal border crossings.

Texas’ decision to secure its border comes in response to an unprecedented surge of illegal aliens, with over 10 million crossing since President Joe Biden took office. Cities across the nation, including New York and Chicago, have struggled to manage this rapid influx of migrants, resorting to drastic measures to provide food and shelter for those who have entered the United States.

The event featured several prominent speakers who shared their perspectives on the importance of border security. Among them was former acting ICE Director Tom Homan, who emphasized the need to uphold the rule of law and protect American citizens. Homan argued that a secure border not only prevents illegal immigration but also helps combat drug smuggling and human trafficking.
Another speaker, Angel Mom Mary Ann Mendoza, spoke passionately about losing her son to a drunk driving incident involving an illegal immigrant. Mendoza called for stricter immigration policies to prevent more families from experiencing such tragedy.
The rally also attracted members of various conservative organizations and political figures who voiced their support for securing the southern border. Attendees wore patriotic clothing and carried signs with slogans such as “Build the Wall” and ”Secure Our Country.”
The “Take Our Border Back” convoy and rally represent the ongoing concern among many Americans regarding the state of the southern border. The issue of illegal immigration has been a contentious subject in recent years, prompting heated debates and policy discussions.
Advocates for border security argue that a porous border poses national security risks, undermines the rule of law, and puts a strain on resources. On the other hand, opponents argue that focusing on a wall and increased border enforcement diverts attention from addressing systemic issues and fails to address the root causes of immigration.
Despite these differing opinions, the rally in Texas demonstrates the determination of concerned Americans to raise awareness and encourage discussion on the issue. By coming together and voicing their support for a secure border, they aim to influence policymakers and promote solutions that address both border security and comprehensive immigration reform.
As the “Take Our Border Back” convoy concludes, its impact remains to be seen. However, the passion and commitment displayed by the participants send a strong message that many Americans believe securing the southern border is a crucial step towards maintaining the nation’s security and protecting its citizens.
Whether this event will lead to tangible policy changes or simply serve as a symbolic show of unity, it is evident that concerns about the southern border are far from resolved. The rally in Quemado, Texas, is just one example of the ongoing debate and activism surrounding this pressing issue.
As the nation wrestles with questions of immigration, security, and humanitarian concerns, it is crucial to continue engaging in informed and constructive discussions. Only through open dialogue, understanding, and cooperation can Americans work towards practical and lasting solutions that address the complex challenges at the southern border.
