A United Nations agency expressed “profound concern” on Monday over the Biden administration’s updated asylum restrictions along the U.S-Mexico border.

...the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) condemned the move in a public statement and called on the White House to reconsider....Matthew Reynolds, UNHCR Representative to the U.S. and the Caribbean, stated. “The regulation severely curtails access to protection for people fleeing conflict, persecution, and violence...Limiting or blocking such access is a violation of international refugee law and the humanitarian principles...”

Biden on Monday tweaked the threshold at which the partial asylum ban would be deactivated...deactivating the asylum restrictions would only happen after the seven-day average remains below 1,500 for 28 days....

Thank you very much and God bless you.

the original calls for the 7-day average to be below 2,500 for over 2 weeks before lifting restrictions. The new version calls for the 7-day average to be below 1,500 over 28 days before lifting restrictions. The majority of asylum seekers are not from conflict zones.

If they’re “fleeing oppression”, show up at the US/Mexico border, and aren’t from Mexico, they aren’t refugees.

Leave the UN, and have the UN leave the US. They can set up shop in Haiti or Yemen or....

Vote Trump, at the minimum to disrupt the corrupt Democrats and globalists

I drive through Dover just about every day. It’s a suburb of Boston and is,IIRC,the richest town in Massachusetts. It’s horse country...and with a Harris sign in front of just about every property.

The UN is the greatest threat to American sovereignty. That joint has got to go. The Cold War is over. Send those bass tards home. They’re shenanigans aren’t needed anymore.

It can be argued that EVERY country in the world has some conflict, persecution, and violence (including the USA).

Why don’t these “refugees” go to a true safe place like Greenland? We know why, it’s because Greenland doesn’t have unlimited, generous welfare benefits.

It’s all about the free housing, free healthcare, free meals, etc. The parasites cherry pick the place that gives out the most free stuff (America).

The UN is an absolute bad joke on people. Out of the UN...the UN out of the USA! What a bunch of pathetic woke bums. Put them in Brussels and stop funding them with American Taxpayers’ money.

Border rules are obviously not tough enough, since there it a UN den of evil allowed to operate in New York City.
