The "How Many More" Border Rally Is Tomorrow In Austin

The Biden-border crisis is not going away anytime soon. In fact, it is only going to get worse when Title 42 comes to an end on May 11th. And so because of that, a big rally is going to be held tomorrow in Austin, calling on Governor Abbott and state lawmakers, to secure the southern border.

"We here in Texas obviously are facing this head-on" said Mark Meckler, political activist and president of Convention Of States, "We've got 70,000 people here dying of fentanyl poisoning, we've got women and children being sold into sexual slavery, and so the goal is to bring attention to it and to put pressure on the legislature and the governor, to do what it takes to repel the invasion on our southern border."

The 'How Many More' rally is set to run tomorrow from 1-4pm, at the southern steps of the Texas Capitol, in Austin.

"The prime goal is for us as Texans, to take responsibility for what is going on at our own border" Meckler told KTRH, "We have the right under the United States constitution to repel an invasion, and the governor has called this an invasion. I expect that the legislature is going to do the same, and we want to see them create the border protection unit. HB-20 will do that."

That bill, HB-20 is still pending, which is what they are going to call for at the rally tomorrow. Meckler believes this could be the biggest border rally ever! Congressman Chip Roy will be on hand, and veteran rocker Ted Nugent is going to start things off with an epic rendition of our national anthem.
