An anti-migrant convoy has raised a six-figure sum to support its trip to Texas.
More than $138,000 has been pledged to "Take Our Border Back."
But video from the convoy's first day suggests the turnout has not been huge.

A group called "Take Our Border Back," which has organized a convoy to Texas in an effort to stop migrants crossing the border, has raised more than $138,000, fundraising pledges show.

An itinerary shared on the group's website states that the convoy was due to set out from Virginia on Monday, splitting into two groups aiming to pass through different border states before reaching Texas.
