Hundreds of protesters gathered for prayer-filled rallies in three border states Saturday to demand an end to illegal immigration — capping a cross-country convoy that dubbed itself “God’s Army” as it rolled from Virginia to Texas this week.
“This is a national security crisis,” organizer Scotty Saks told a crowd of about 200 in San Ysidro, Calif., at the first of three “Take Our Border Back” demonstrations in the Golden State, Arizona and Texas.
“We have a human trafficking problem on the border in proportions that we’ve never imagined,” he said.
“The United States is the largest sponsor of human trafficking, and that’s not something we’re proud of.”
