Nana King: The Only Taxi Driver in New York City
Nana King was featured on the Daily Hustle Worldwide show with host DJ Nyaami.
Nana works as a taxi driver in New York City, starting his shift at 4 AM. Once he reaches his $400 fare, he finishes his day.
When it comes to fares, Nana is clear about his charges. For instance, a ride from JFK to Manhattan costs $100.
However, there are legal implications for green card holders. If you’re caught breaking the law, you could be arrested and classified as a criminal, leading to potential deportation upon returning to Ghana.
Nana also spoke out about President Trump’s recent policies. One of the most impactful changes is the cancellation of birthright citizenship.
Under this new rule, if someone enters the U.S. illegally and gives birth, both the parent and child could face deportation. Trump signed this order, which took immediate effect, unless the Supreme Court intervenes.
In his interview, Nana mentioned that Trump had also reversed Obama’s legalization of gay rights. Trump no longer accepts gay rights, and the executive orders do not include them.
Regarding immigration, Nana highlighted the dangers posed by Venezuelan gangs, which are involved in violent crimes like robbery and murder.
Some of these gangs have fled to Florida to escape deportation. The Governor of Florida is reportedly assisting Trump in addressing gang activity, while New York is struggling with its own issues.
Nana further explained the complexities of U.S. immigration laws, stating that those with expired visas or criminal records are at risk of deportation. For instance, if a green card holder with a criminal record travels to Ghana, they could be detained upon return.
He also discussed how Mexico’s cartels are using the sea and speedboats to smuggle people into the U.S., and many immigrants enter the country illegally, sometimes marrying and having children.
Despite living in the U.S. for decades, these individuals are still required by law to leave and re-enter legally.
While some seek legal representation, they still face penalties.
Nana also criticized Nana Agyemang, who falsely accused him of being deported, pointing out that Agyemang’s claims were based on misunderstandings about his immigration status.
Nana King insists that Agyemang’s assertions were naive and ignorant, as Agyemang had been deported after committing criminal acts in Canada.
In conclusion, Nana King’s message underscores the evolving challenges around immigration, criminal records, and policies under the Trump administration.
