McALLEN, Texas ( Border Report ) — A vehicle convoy that is opposed to illegal immigration is crossing the country and making its way to the South Texas border where it plans to hold a rally this weekend, along with concurrent rallies on the West Coast and in Arizona.
Dozens of cars and semi trucks joined the caravan on Tuesday, which was Day 2 of the movement protesting what organizers say is an “open border.”

The group invites “active and retired law enforcement and military, veterans, Mama Bears, elected officials, business owners, ranchers, truckers, bikers, media, and law-abiding, freedom-loving Americans.”
The multi-day caravan left Roanoke, Virginia, on Monday and overnighted in Jacksonville, Florida.
It was expected to arrive near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, around 7 p.m. CT on Tuesday evening.
Participants are scheduled to head out Wednesday morning for Dripping Springs, Texas, on the outskirts of Austin.
