A group of self-described "American Patriots" is organizing to shut down all border crossings with Mexico on September 20th as a protest over illegal immigration and other issues.
The group Shut Down All Ports has taken to social media to deliver its message.
According to the group's website, organizers want the federal government to come up with a permanent and legitimate solution for dealing with the Illegal Immigration issue.
Both "unsettled" and "deeply concerned" with the Obama administration, the group wants the federal government to "enforce our rule of law" and bring home jailed former Marine Andrew Tahmooressi.
The former marine remains in custody in Mexico under weapons charges after he allegedly made a wrong turn and ended up in Tijuana with guns in his car.
Organizers want to simultaneously shut down all border crossings with Mexico in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas on September 20th at 8:00 a.m. PST.
"Patriots will simply drive their vehicles (the bigger the better) up to the Port of Entry and turn off your engine," organizers wrote on their website. "Both sides of the Port need to be closed, to ensure this protest is as big as possible (this is not the time to carpool). You may need to make a U-turn to be able to get into place. Please do this safely."
It's not clear if there are any participants signed up in the Rio Grande Valley but the time of the protest would be at 6:00 a.m. CST during rush hour traffic on the region's international bridges.
