Fifteen Republican governors and a conservative convoy of truckers that has dubbed itself “God’s Army” will descend on the southern border this weekend as part of separate events to draw attention to the illegal immigration crisis.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) will host leaders from 14 other red states in the McAllen, Texas, area of the Rio Grande Valley on Sunday afternoon for a briefing on the state’s effort to bolster security at the Mexico border and hold a press conference about the impact of “President Joe Biden’s reckless open border policies.”
In the lead-up to Abbott’s border event, Americans frustrated with the more than 9 million people who have been observed or encountered while illegally entering the country since 2021 will take matters into their own hands.
