Washington, May 12: Migration remains a significant issue in the United States. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that allowing mass immigration into the US was a grave mistake, posing a threat to the unity of society and the future of its people. The Trump administration has rejected the UN Migration Declaration (GCM).
On Monday, the US State Department issued a sharp statement regarding this matter. It announced that the US would not participate in the International Migration Review Forum and would not support the progress declaration made on May 8.
The US government has consistently opposed UN efforts related to the Global Migration Framework. The statement highlighted, “The US has continuously objected to UN efforts that support and facilitate replacement immigration in the US and across the West.”
The statement also referenced President Donald Trump’s 2017 decision to reject the Global Compact on Migration. It further asserted, “Recent years have validated the rationale behind opposing the Global Migration Framework.”
The government accused UN agencies and their partners of aiding mass migration into the US. According to the statement, Americans have witnessed crime and chaos at the borders, emergency conditions in major cities, and billions of taxpayer dollars spent on hotels, plane tickets, cell phones, and cash cards for migrants.
The US State Department claimed that UN-related efforts have not only facilitated attacks on the country but have also redistributed the wealth and resources of its citizens among millions of foreigners from the world’s worst corners.
Rejecting the UN’s perspective on migration management, the US stated, “There was nothing safe, orderly, or regular about it.” It added, “The costs have primarily fallen on working Americans who have been forced to compete for fewer jobs, homes, and social services. The UN has very little to say about them.”
The US government emphasized that it would not support any international process that could limit its sovereignty over immigration policy. The statement concluded, “President Trump is focused on the interests of Americans, not foreigners or globalist bureaucrats. The US will not support any process that openly or covertly imposes guidelines, standards, or commitments that impede the sovereignty and democratic rights of the American people to make decisions in the best interest of our country.”
The government also hinted at a stricter approach to immigration policy, stating, “Our goal is not to manage migration but to promote re-migration.”
The International Migration Review Forum is linked to the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, adopted in 2018 to strengthen international cooperation on migration issues. While this compact is non-binding, it has faced criticism from several conservative governments due to concerns over national sovereignty and border control.
