The United States has withdrawn from a United Nations pact to commit to protect and preserve rights of migrants and refugees.
Donald Trump's administration said the agreement, known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, was "inconsistent" with its policies.
In September 2016, the 193 members of the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a set of commitments that pledged to uphold the rights of refugees, help them resettle and ensure they have access to education and jobs.
A statement from the US read: "The New York Declaration contains numerous provisions that are inconsistent with US immigration and refugee policies and the Trump Administration's immigration principles.
"As a result, President Trump determined that the United States would end its participation in the Compact process that aims to reach international consensus at the UN in 2018."
US Ambassador Nikki Haley said the country would continue its "generosity" in supporting migrants and refugees around the world, but 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."
Under Trump and his "America First" policies, the US has withdrawn from several global commitments made under the administration of president Barack Obama, including the Paris climate deal.
More recently, American pulled out of the Paris-based culture and education body, UNESCO, accusing it of "anti-Israel bias."
“And yet, somehow perplexing to the liberal morons and communists in our country and media.”
Nationalism is fascism. Ignorance is strength.
Effin winning.
BOOOOOOM!!!!
He just gave the Globalists a Giant American Middle Finger...
... FOR ME.. and for ALL of us.
This is why we elected the Man.
Geezus, we have a REAL American President at last.
God bless ya, President Trump...
This is a lot of winning but then this is the way it should be. Of course, there are always politicians who backstab this country. It happens again and again.
Nice!
I hope this step has an impact upon the only thing that matters, reducing the number of third world migrants pouring into our homeland.

Yahoo!!!
I hope that he is setting the scene for what remains of most if not all of my life.
My wife and I were remarking at dinner how things, save for the constant bickering, carping and sniping, have smoothed out quite a bit. Great way to begin retirement so far.
Thanks for posting Eddie, more good news.
I’d rather see all mention of him redacted.
Combined posts brought smile to my face :)
Thank you!
Great.....why should we let the UN tell us what to do?
This is beautiful. And I used to believe Haley was a globalist who would undermine Trump and the USA.
I love her as much as Trump now. I believe she loves this exceptional nation.
This is great news...I became of this UN policy through Ann Corcoran at Refugee Resettlement Watch. A wealth of information.
MAGA
You go, Trump!
Trump takes action on Problems, unlike Obama and the DemocRATS.
