VADO, New Mexico ( KTSM ) — The controversial group “Take Our Border Back” convoy stopped in Vado, New Mexico to raise awareness and voice their concerns about what they say is “the crisis on the border.”
The convoy group left Dripping Springs, Texas and arrived in Vado around 7:30 p.m.
The convoy said they shrunk in size overnight as only one camper made it’s way down to Vado.
The mission started off in Virginia and different groups traveled across the country, but they will meet in Yuma, Arizona on Friday.
At Thursday’s evening, participants joined in prayer, music and an on-site rally.
Attendees told KTSM they are voicing what they feel is a concern in the country.
Attendees said there is an “open border” and because of it, it causes a lot of drug problems, sex trafficking and illegal immigration.
“So, what I see now is not immigration, it is truly an open border and without borders we don’t have our country,” Kathy Stout, an attendee said.
Stout expressed that she feels the government is not spending money correctly.
