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.
And the rhetoric about representing God in this quest isn't just metaphorical, as they believe they have a divine calling to force foreigners out of the country, writes Vice.

"This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God," one convoy member said during a recent organizing call.
On that same call, writes Vice, another organizer argued that these actions needed to be taken because "we are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil."
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."
