The Trump administration did not participate in the United Nations’ International Migration Review Forum, with the State Department declaring that it has “persistently objected to the United Nations’ efforts to advocate and facilitate replacement immigration in the United States and across the broader West.”
The State Department explained that opening the nation’s doors to mass migration was a “grave mistake that threatens the cohesion of our societies and the future of our peoples.”
“In recent years, Americans witnessed first-hand how mass immigration laid waste to our communities: crime and chaos at the border, states of emergency in major cities, and billions of taxpayer dollars funneled towards hotels, plane tickets, cell phones and cash cards for migrants,” the statement read. “Much of this was driven by UN agencies and their partners, which did not just facilitate the invasion of our country, but proceeded to redistribute our own people’s wealth and resources to millions of foreigners from the worst corners of the world.”
Although UN agencies drove the migration, American taxpayers paid the price, competing for “scarce jobs, housing, and social services.”
“President Trump is focused on the interests of Americans, not foreigners or globalist bureaucrats,” the statement declared. “The United States will not support a process that imposes, overtly or by stealth, guidelines, standards, or commitments that constrain the American people’s sovereign, democratic right to make decisions in the best interests of our country. ”
According to the United Nations Network on Migration website, the forum consisted of a “four interactive multi-stakeholder round tables, a policy debate, and a plenary, preceded by an informal interactive multi-stakeholder hearing” and resulted in an “inter-governmentally agreed Progress Declaration.”
