Is it true that the United States withdrew from the immigration agreement?

On February 2, 65438, the United States Mission to the United Nations issued a statement saying that the United States would no longer participate in global immigration agreements because its policies were "inconsistent" with the United States.

In September, 2065 438+093, the UN General Assembly 193 members adopted a non-binding political declaration, namely the Declaration on Refugees and Immigrants in new york. The declaration promises to provide better emergency response for refugees, increase investment in humanitarian assistance and assist in the resettlement of refugees.

In the latest statement, the United States said that although the United States joined this declaration during the term of former President Obama, it contained a large number of provisions inconsistent with the US immigration and refugee policies. Therefore, President Trump has decided that the United States will no longer participate in this agreement, and it is expected that an international understanding will be reached in 20 18.

Since Trump took office, the United States has announced its withdrawal from many international agreements and organizations, including the Paris Climate Agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and UNESCO.

Before announcing its withdrawal from the Global Immigration Agreement, the Trump administration has revised a series of immigration and refugee policies, such as the entry ban implemented at the beginning of this year, the cancellation of the DACA immigration project, and the reduction of the number of refugees to be accepted in the new fiscal year to the lowest level since 1980. In addition, as one of Trump's campaign promises, the US-Mexico border wall is also in preparation.

It is worth noting that just before the global immigration conference to be held in Mexico next Monday, the United States announced its withdrawal from the global immigration agreement. The meeting will discuss how to resettle the 60 million refugees displaced by war, poverty or global warming in a more humane way. The American magazine article pointed out that obviously, the United States has lost interest in the new joint solution to the refugee crisis.

The article mentioned that this withdrawal decision means that the 32-year-old White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller is having a lasting impact on the Trump administration. In the past few weeks, Miller, who has always supported stricter immigration control, has dominated the US withdrawal discussion.

The magazine quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that White House chief of staff, former Secretary of Homeland Security Kelly and Attorney General Sessions all supported the decision to withdraw troops, while US Ambassador to the United Nations Heili raised objections. She believes that the United States can exert greater influence on the outcome of the agreement by staying in the agreement, but Heili's idea was rejected by Trump.
