Trump rejects United Nations’ international migration forum declaration

The United States of America has rejected the May 8 declaration on international migration by the United Nations.
President Donald Trump’s administration noted that the U.S. did not participate in the International Migration Review Forum and would not support the May 8 “progress” declaration.
The U.S. State Department in a statement on Monday said it would not support the UN’s International Migration Review Forum “‘progress’ declaration,” adding that Washington objects to the United Nations’ efforts “to advocate and facilitate replacement immigration in the United States and across the broader West.”
Mr Trump has persistently objected to the United Nations’ efforts to advocate and facilitate replacement immigration in the United States and across the broader global West.
In 2017, during his first tenure, Mr Trump rejected the Global Compact on Migration.
U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio also condemned the idea of allowing mass migration of people into the North American country.
Mr Rubio said, “Opening our 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.”
“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.”
Mr Rubio noted that Mr Trump was focused on the interests of Americans, not foreigners or globalist bureaucrats.
He said, “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. Our goal is not to ‘manage’ migration, but to foster remigration.”
