A massive convoy of truckers will make its way to three migrant hotspots across three states in a bid to shame the White House into tackling the worsening crisis.
Hundreds - possibly thousands - of big rigs will head for Eagle Pass in Texas, Yuma in Arizona and San Ysidro in California from January 29 for the four day 'Take Back Our Border' event.
'The time is NOW to take action and secure our borders!'
Despite the Supreme Court ruling on Monday in favor of the Biden Administration that Border Patrol agents can cut razor wire placed at the border (placed there by Texas) if they feel the need to, Texas is doubling down.
The state added more wire fencing, a is refusing to give up control of a Eagle Pass park it seized control of on Jan. 10.
Bizarrely, a golf course remains open in the park for locals to enjoy the genteel pastime - while federally-employed Border Patrol agents are barred.
The feds have given the state a deadline of Jan. 26 to allow Border Patrol agents, were have been banned from the park, access to Shelby Park.
It's unknown what, if anything, will happen if Texas refuses to comply with the federal government by Friday, but San Antonio Congressman Joaquin Castro ratcheted up the language-- suggesting Biden use force.
“Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border. If Abbott is defying yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling, @POTUS needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard now,” Castro

I don't know how this will pan out.
But I know how it will be framed.
"Worse than J6!!!"

I regret to inform you of 42 current national emergencies currently being observed by the government according to Wikipedia.
A state of emergency is a situation in which a government is empowered to put through policies that it would normally not be permitted to do, for the safety and protection of its citizens. A government can declare such a state during a natural disaster, civil unrest, armed conflict, medical pandemic or epidemic or other biosecurity risk.

And the Mainstream Media are already churning out their propaganda about it. This was one of the first articles that came up for me in a search about it. I must warn you first that it is full of outright lies and obvious propaganda. Why their choice of title alone is a dead giveaway:
Far-Right Extremists Are Organizing An Armed Convoy To The Texas Border
See, "Far-Right Extremists" is just their ugly and libelous term for ordinary Americans who love their country. That's all I've got to say about the rag that published that story. But, like I said, beware when reading it or enjoy it for the chuckles it provides.
The organziers of this event have even set up a website for people to follow the action:
Take Our Border Back
I would say more about the situation, but since the Supreme Court issued their ruling on June 23rd, 2022, "The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen," at least we as citizens can now legally protects ourselves when we're away from home. Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it.
Do you think that if the convoy got too massive that this could be implemented?

Seven hundred thousand? Don't make me laugh. There are just short of 3 million trucks registered in the US, and they're going to get almost three quarters of a million to the border? Please. They couldn't even a fraction of that to go on strike to improve wages and living conditions for truckers. You can't even get two truck drivers to agree what time the sun comes up, let alone lose the money that you're talking about them losing pulling off something like this.
