• by Megan Palin, Alyssa Guzman

The Take Our Border Back convoy heading to Texas is expecting at least 700,000 people to turn out for their events on Feb. 3.

The organizers of the convoy left Virginia Monday and stopped overnight in Florida where they rallied for more people to join their cause and organized to try and push the Biden administration into taking action on border issues.

Pictures taken by The Post Tuesday morning show the painted vans and trucks that have joined the growing convoy in Jacksonville, Florida, as they prepared to head through Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana onto Quemado, Texas, near border security flashpoint Eagle Pass.  

Organizer Kim Yeater told The Post: "To the naysayers: We're just ordinary citizens, farmers, ranchers, retired police officers. Not crazy conspiracy theorists. 

"It will be a peaceful assembly of Americans of all political classes and all ethnicities.

"We've got Canadian truckers, moms and dads. We've got motorcycles. If people could bring horses they'd bring horses. I know the numbers we are looking at are 700,000. I think it'll possibly be bigger than that."

A second convoy is leaving from California to Yuma, Arizona – another area where migrants have consistently overwhelmed the border, and where for months people were able to simply walk through open floodgates at Lukeville.
