US pulls out of UN migrant and refugee pact
AFP via UK Telegraph ^ | 12.2.17 | staff

he administration of President Donald Trump has withdrawn the United States from a United Nations pact to improve the handling of migrant and refugee situations, deeming it "inconsistent" with its policies, the US mission to the global body announced Saturday.

"Today, the US Mission to the United Nations informed the UN Secretary-General that the United States is ending its participation in the Global Compact on Migration," the Americans said in a statement.

In September 2016, the 193 members of the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a non-binding political declaration, the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, pledging to uphold the rights of refugees, help them resettle and ensure they have access to education and jobs.

Trump sometimes has me wondering if we have some kind of Spock-like MIND-MELD, or something.

WINNING..!!!!!

US Ambassador Nikki Haley said... that "our decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans alone." "We will decide how best to control our borders and who will be allowed to enter our country. The global approach in the New York Declaration is simply not compatible with US sovereignty."

Definitely a win...

I like how Trump ALWAYS gives others a chance to work with him...and only after they spit on him, does he respond, and FORCIBLY!

I fervently hope that President Trump, perhaps in his second term, will cut the cord with the UN and see to it that it’s HQ is removed from NYC. Given the very anti-American/Anti-Israeli nature of the body, we would at the very least, take a very much more limited role, and a consequent massive reduction in our financial contribution to it. I do not favor getting completely out. We need to stay involved enough to be able to know what they are cooking up.

First good piece of news I read today.

This and Brian Ross jumping the gun on his, ahem, reporting (?) about the Michael Flynn story and getting 1 month suspension with no paycheck which I’m sure doesn’t bother him. I love the way the media is falling all over itself trying as best as they can to get something on President Trump.....now THAT’S winning........;)

When you drop 2000 Somalis pledged to mayhem and violence out in Slime Rock Idaho and overwhelm the citizens, you know the immigration and refugee program designers might not be our friends.

We will decide how best to control our borders and who will be allowed to enter our country.

Holey Moley!! I never thought I'd ever hear that again from our government. Go Trump! Such common sense! We permit those to come here who can contribute to America and want to pursue the American Dream. Keep out those who want to kill us and destroy our very national fabric.
