WASHINGTON, January 26 Columns of truckers will depart next week for southern border of the United States to demand that the government stop the flow of illegal migration, the action says on social media pages.
«Peace meetings» that appear to be an extension of the conflict between the federal center and Republican regions are scheduled for February 3 in the border cities of Eagle Pass, Texas, Tucson, Arizona, and San Diego, California.
«Calling all truckers, bikers, law enforcement, veterans, military, elected representatives, business owners, farmers and freedom-loving Americans. It is time for us the people to peacefully come together to defend our constitutional rights and demand from our government to take action and secure our border,” the organizers called.
They plan to equip three “convoys” to the border.
Congressman from Texas Keith Self wrote on the social network X that “thousands” of people are already planning to participate in the action, including truckers from Canada, whose protest against coronavirus restrictions at home was suppressed by the authorities.
Republicans accuse the Democratic administration of deepening the migration crisis and in a number of high-profile cases took the initiative into their own hands, causing the displeasure of the federal center.
