'God's Army' trucker convoy heading to southern border on 'biblical' anti-migrant crusade [View all]

Source: Raw Story

A trucker convoy heading down to the southern border is using apocalyptic rhetoric to describe its desire to hunt down migrants illegally entering the United States.

Vice reports that the convoy, which is calling itself "God's Army," is launching a campaign called "Take Our Border Back" to drive undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers out of the country.

The group's desire for drastic actions was recently heightened after the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could remove razor wire at Eagle Pass, where a migrant woman and two children drowned while trying to cross the border.

"These latest developments have aroused civil war fantasies on fringe forums, as well as on the social media accounts of GOP lawmakers and right-wing political commentators," reports Vice. "And this all means that the border convoy is garnering more interest than it might have done a couple of weeks ago. The convoy’s crowdfunder on GiveSendGo has raked in more than $30,000 just this week, totaling nearly $50,000 by Friday morning."
