US: False Promise of Green Card, Work Visas Leads Thousands of Illegal African Migrants to Gather Outside New York City Hall, Video Surfaces

Thousands of African migrants, lured by false promises of work visas and green cards, gathered outside New York City Hall on Tuesday, April 16, as videos circulating online depict. The hopeful crowd, mainly from Guinea, West Africa, gathered for a hearing on the black experience in the city's shelter system, though only 250 were permitted inside. Reportedly, many were left outside, chanting and cheering in a nearby park, revealing the frustration of those who believed in the false promises. Allegedly led by an activist group, the surge of migrants underscores the desperation and vulnerability of those seeking legal status in the US. El Paso Border Breach: 'Illegal' Migrants at US-Mexico Border Overwhelm Texas National Guard, Storm Through Razor-Wire Fencing in Bid to Enter America (Watch Videos).
