Last month, a large convoy of MAGA trucks called the ‘Army of God’ was heading towards the southern border due to the current crisis.
They hoped the flashy, all-American protest would draw more attention to the record number of migrants crossing the southern border into the U.S., with multiple cities now buckling under the weight of trying to care for them.
A massive convoy of truckers was seen heading to migrant hotspots in an attempt to shame the White House into addressing the worsening crisis.
New York City is currently one of those cities struggling under the weight of tens of thousands of immigrants arriving at its borders in search of shelter.
In the last two years alone, the city had to deal with the arrival of more than 170,000 immigrants.
Mayor Eric Adams has said the cost of the immigration crisis in the Big Apple is $4.6 billion as he pleads with the state for more money.
The state’s governor, Kathy Hochul, pledged $2.4 billion to the crisis last month, more than double last year’s proposal.
