US leads push back against UN's migration agenda

The Trump administration is leading the pack of countries that are pushing back against the United Nations' migration agenda. Now that the US is doing it, this gives them the cover they need to follow suit.

Last December, the US announced that they would withdraw from the U.N.'s Global Migration Compact, which was due to be implemented by an intergovernmental conference in Morocco in December. Rex Tillerson, then-Secretary of State argued that the compact might undermine the U.S.'s right to enforce its immigration laws and secure its borders.

Perhaps the UN was playing us for suckers.

"The United States supports international cooperation on migration issues, but it is the primary responsibility of sovereign states to help ensure that migration is safe, orderly, and legal," Tillerson twanged.

The U.S. was the first to leave the compact, but when other countries saw they had cover, they began pulling out of the non-binding compact faster than Michael Moore downing a donut.  It was known affectionately as "Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration."

Hungary, Poland, Austria, Australia and Israel got on the Trump Train and announced they're not going to sign the accord. They all cited their concerns that it will impede the ability of countries to set and enforce their own immigration policies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this week, "We are committed to guarding our borders against illegal migrants. This is what we have done and this is what we will continue to do."

Who can blame him? Israel's illegal migrants tend to come into the country via tunnels and are loaded with explosives. I can't imagine Israel giving up self-managing their immigration and borders.

"We believe that the Compact is inconsistent with our well-established policies and not in Australia's interest," said Australian Prime Minister Scott Turnbull. "The Compact fails to adequately distinguish between people who enter Australia illegally and those who come to Australia the right way, particularly with respect to the provision of welfare and other benefits."

Which seems to be a motivating reason for many migrants arriving in stable countries.

Former President Obama loved the U.N. He wanted the globalization of nations and a central government dictating law and policy.

The U.N. has lost its former reason for living and should be put to pasture.
