Convoy rally on Texas-Mexico border attracts Trump fans who decry illegal immigration

Those attending the “Take Our Border Back” rally in Quemado said they were convening as Christians who support putting razor wire and walls on the border and want people to come legally.

Trump 2024 flags flew alongside Christian flags as a throng of people converged on a rural Texas ranch to denounce the president and the people who have crossed into the United States from the nearby Rio Grande.

Many of those who arrived at the border town of Quemado on Friday for the “Take Our Border Back” rally said they were convening as Christians who stand against lawlessness and were doing so peacefully. The musical performers, vendors, political signs and colorful clothing on the rally grounds contrasted with the razor wire, camouflage uniforms and weaponry stationed 20 miles south at the section of border in Eagle Pass.

The group arrived at about 8 p.m. Friday local time and merged onto a two-lane rural road, creating a long queue of mostly personal or rented cars and recreational vehicles.

Let them all mass at the border, then gift the first couple of miles into the state to Mexico. Then set up a border guard to prevent them from crossing the new border.

what wrong with supporting legal immigration?

They don’t support that either. Unless the people emigrating are from Europe. Sometimes. But they definitely don’t want legal immigration for anyone not white and/or Christian and/or cishet.

Nation States sow division, war, unhealthy competition between humans, all in the name of maintaining power for the sociopaths that own them.

The imaginary lines you worship will be our species’ end. We have crises that threaten the planet. “My nation state wants moooaaaaar than your nation state” is just children tantruming at the end of the world of our making, and we deserve it, unlike all the entire ecosystems of creatures we don’t give shit one about that we’re destroying along with us.

Why do these people choose convoy for their method of demonstration?

Because they don’t get out much, otherwise.

They’re big C.W. McCall fans?

More people attended a free-houseplant event one afternoon at my workplace this past week than attended this rally. However, it did not make national news. Even much bigger protest rallies in the city here might not even make the local news. Yet right-wingers get together for a pissant little gathering that would be a disappointing turnout for a high school band concert, and the national media is falling all over themselves to give their temper tantrum air time. Why is that? Something, something, “liberal media,” right? /s

I mean any congregation of terrorists is kind of a big deal

With sanitized descriptors like “fans who decry illegal immigration” like that’s all they’re about.

I dunno, but what I do know is that when I was a kid the us flag was red white and blue, not solid blue with the word “trump” on it. It also wasn’t made in China.

You'll be surprised to learn it's mostly white

What can you say when a religious group gets together to promote drowning people in a river? Maybe they have misunderstood the second coming of Christ is about judgement.

Jesus gazed upon the mighty river holding back the huddled masses, and said “lol fuck em, white power!”

Religion is a mental illness.

They’re true Christians! They want to baptize those migrants. Permanently.

Trump’s open border policy should be addressed then.
