Last week, the United States refused to participate in the UN’s review of the Global Compact on Migration. The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies.

UN agencies systematically facilitated mass migration into America and Europe, even as citizens of these nations called for restrictions on migration. Now the Global Compact’s latest report urges nations to expand migration pathways and pursue “regularization” of migrants.

UN agencies – working with the NGOs they fund – established a migration corridor through Central America and to the U.S. border. As the American people suffered under an unprecedented wave of mass migration, the UN was on the ground pipelining migrants to our southern border.

UN officials greeted migrants along the route through the deadly Darien Gap. UN-funded NGOs handed out maps to migrants in route to the U.S. After facilitating mass migration to the United States, UN agencies condemned the deportation of illegal immigrants.

As Europe endured sustained migratory pressure, UN officials staffed all ends of the Mediterranean migration route – from the coast of Libya to the shores of the Aegean to the islands of Greece. Then UN agencies condemned frontline states who refused to open their borders.

While the United Kingdom faced unprecedented illegal boat crossings, UN agencies condemned plans for deportations. UN officials lobbied aviation regulators to prevent the deportation of migrants – an appalling violation of the UK’s national sovereignty.

The Global Compact on Migration claims to support “safe” migration. For the citizens of Western nations, mass migration was never safe. It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains, and undermined the cohesion of our societies.

The United States will not legitimize global compacts that enable mass migration into America or Western nations. Under President Trump, the State Department will facilitate remigration – not replacement migration.
