GENEVA (Reuters) -U.N. agencies on Friday appealed to Washington to continue allowing asylum seekers access to the country and to be given due process after President Donald Trump vowed to freeze migration from "Third World" countries following an attack near the White House.

Asked to respond to Trump's remarks, U.N. human rights office spokesperson Jeremy Laurence told a Geneva press briefing: "They are entitled to protection under international law, and that should be given due process."

U.N. refugee agency spokesperson Eujin Byun echoed those remarks.

"When people who need protection arrive in their territory, they have to have a due process of asylum. And then they have to have access to territory," she said, adding that the overwhelming majority of refugees are law-abiding members of the host community.

"So we really want to appeal at this point to the states who are hosting refugees and asylum seekers," she said.

GTHUN

[MtnClimber]

Ok, only if every US citizen killed by a migrant is countered by the killing of a UN official starting at the top and working down from there. Would the UN sign up if their smelly buttocks were on the line? Tit for Tat.

[Ronald77]

Screw the UN.

[JBW1949]

Totally agree!!!!! get them out...Send them to Brussels...

[Jonty30]

The UN wants war in America.

[Hattie]

Baloney UN.

[RetiredTexasVet]

We need to remove the UN from our country. Move it to a third world country where its policies would be more in line with theirs. The federal government should use eminent domain to take the UN site for a garbage dump.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yes, kick the UN out of the USA. Too bad the 9-11 terrorists didn't aim for the UN building.

[Leaning Right]

Is every UN official a sh!thead?
Because it sure looks that way.

[CFW]

There are 50+ Muslim countries the “asylum” seekers can choose from. The only reason to come to the U.S. is to get tax payer dollars and to rape, rob, pillage, and conquer.

So, how about “Hell No!”?

[PeterPrinciple]

I think we are allowing some asylum seekers. White Afrikaners.

So they should be happy.

[yldstrk]

No, absolutely not. UN can pound sand.

[HombreSecreto]

US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.

[Buttons12]

Are we under international law here? I did not know that.

[blackdog]
