They are saying they expect 1000 truckers, maybe more that they pick up on the way. That's a lot of people to block and arrest. But we need to be prepared to do that.

I'd like to also see Biden or a spokesperson announce publicly in advance that the caravan protest is illegal. It will be because I am certain that they will not be granted a permit to bring 1000 trucks into DC.

So they will be notified in advance. They can be given an option to have a protest on foot, on the condition that all trucks are left outside the city and both trucks and people are checked first for weapons.

If they agree, then they are legitimate protesters. If they refuse, then they are potential terrorists or insurrectionists and should be arrested and their trucks impounded.

Meantime, they can cause trouble and domestic unrest in their travel across the country. If they stick to red states on the route, they will get no opposition and probably a lot of help.
