Border Ambassadors is sponsoring the March 4 March 4 to force the presidential candidates to address the issue of the border wall. Senators Clinton, Obama, and McCain all voted for the Secure Fence Act, but now they are vying for the votes of south Texas residents in the March 4th primary. The March 4 March 4 is a 7-day 63-mile walk from Brownsville, Texas to La Lomita Chapel in Mission, Texas. It will start on February 25 and end on March 2 at La Lomita. Passing through El Calaboz and Granjeno, this protest walk/march is scheduled to impact the March 4 Texas primary.

Since her strategy in the march 4 Texas primary is completely reliant upon carrying south Texas, Hillary Clinton in particular needs to listen to border communities opposed to the wall. She seems to have heard the voices of border residents at her rally in Brownsville last Wednesday, when the crowd chanted "NO BORDER WALL!" when she mentioned immigration. Two days later she spoke out against the wall in the Texas Democratic debate. Barak Obama quickly followed suit. We just need to make them hear our voices. Then hopefully their words will be followed by concrete action.
