Report: Trump Admin to End UN Role in Refugee Admissions

The Trump administration is reportedly planning on ending the United Nations’ role in refugee admissions. The New York Times reports:

Administration officials are not done submitting proposals to the White House. According to a draft of a third report, obtained by The New York Times, the latest proposal calls for U.S. embassies to make referrals for who should be considered for refugee status, rather than the United Nations, which has long been the practice. The change would allow for greater American control of who gets funneled into the refugee pipeline.

Additionally, both The New York Times and The Washington Post have reported that the Trump administration is considering lowering the fiscal 2026 refugee cap to 7,500, down from the 125,000 cap set by the Biden administration for fiscal 2025. On his first day back in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order temporarily suspending the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, though lower federal courts have partially enjoined it.

These actions, if ultimately enacted, would be the latest steps taken by the Trump administration to limit mass migration. Mass migration — both legal and illegal — threatens American independence. By importing migrants into the United States en masse, which prevents their assimilation into American philosophy and culture, the Insiders are able to reshape the nation to their liking.

Additionally, removing the UN from the U.S. refugee-admissions process, if realized, would be another step toward restoring U.S. sovereignty and limiting foreign entanglements. Ultimately, the United States should fully withdraw from the UN, but this would be a good first step in that direction.

The UN must be shut down it’s destroying the world

Like DUH... surprised the UN involvement wasn’t addressed
before now.

There are only so many things that can be addressed at one
time though.

There were hundreds of emergency “must dos” after the last
four years.

I had no idea of the direct role of the UN in this. Terrible.

[Bigg Red]

Agree

[Bigg Red]

So true

That the UN plays any role whatsoever in American immigration is an outrage.

What genius set up that arrangement in the first place with the UN calling the shots? Was that part of John and Teddy Kennedy's dastardly Immigration Act of 1965?

“The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants,” lead supporter Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy (D-Mass.) told the Senate during debate. “It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.” —How the Immigration Act of 1965 Changed the Face of America
