Unfortunately for the United Nations, these plans are essentially antithetical to current United States policy. It’s not up to any global organization to dictate how many migrants individual nation states “must” take in or what processes will be used to determine those numbers. Portions of Europe may be fine with having such decisions made for them (though the number of EU members willing to go along with this is shrinking by the month) but look at the results it’s brought them. Such policies are the primary reason that Angela Merkel has still been unable to form a new, ruling government coalition weeks after the last round of German elections.
And even some of the member nations who signed on to the agreement clearly had no intention of honoring it. Just last week we discussed the situation in Japan, where they have taken in all of three refugees this year and informed the U.N. that they have zero intention of being rushed into taking any more. Meanwhile, back in the EU, Hungary has been thumbing their nose at Brussels for going on two years now and there doesn’t seem to be a thing they can do about it.
Dear United Nations: We’re bailing on your “migration” plan. Love, The U.S.A
