ADDITIONAL OUTREACH ACTIVITIES
IRCOT Advisory Committee Members and Partners engage in outreach efforts by speaking to groups throughout the State of Texas to educate Texans about the dangers of continued out-of-control immigration policies.
IRCOT Partners have organized countless border and day labor center watches and rallies in support of prosecuted Border Patrol Agents, and protests against "comprehensive" immigration legislation though out the State. Many of these groups travel to other parts of the U.S. to assist with border watches in other States because as U.S. Border Watch states, "National Security is Border Security."
Many of the accomplishments listed above were self-funded by the leadership of the organizations listed.
Our continued success in this battle depends upon donations from our supporters.
Your contributions will allow IRCOT to continue the fight to save and secure this Nation and the great State of Texas!
