The United States on Monday affirmed its rejection of the May 8 ‘progress declaration’ adopted during the second United Nations’ International Migration Review Forum, IMRF
The Forum, held at the UN Headquarters in New York, followed a multi-stakeholder hearing on May 4. Countries discussed the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
Washington says it is not obligated by the decision at the meeting, as it did not participate and has persistently objected to the UN’s efforts to facilitate replacement immigration in the U.S.
“President Trump rejected the Global Compact on Migration in 2017,” according to a State Department readout. “The intervening years have confirmed the wisdom of that opposition.”
The statement recalled the remark by the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who noted that opening America’s doors to mass migration was “a grave mistake” that threatens the cohesion of society.
The Trump Administration said mass immigration negatively affected several communities, and caused crime and chaos at the border, states of emergency in major cities, as well as billions of taxpayer dollars.
The government said much of the spending was driven by UN agencies and partners, which did not just facilitate the country’s “invasion”, but “redistributed our people’s wealth and resources to millions of foreigners.”
“President Donald Trump is focused on the interests of Americans, not foreigners or globalist bureaucrats,” the State Department declared.
Washington insists it will not support a process that imposes guidelines, standards, or commitments that constrain the American people’s sovereign and democratic right to make decisions in their best interests.
