US withdraws from UN commitment to protect refugees and migrants

More winning!!!!
The United States has withdrawn from a United Nations pact to commit to protect and preserve rights of migrants and refugees.
Donald Trump's administration said the agreement, known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, was "inconsistent" with its policies.
In September 2016, the 193 members of the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a set of commitments that pledged to uphold the rights of refugees, help them resettle and ensure they have access to education and jobs.
A statement from the US read: "The New York Declaration contains numerous provisions that are inconsistent with US immigration and refugee policies and the Trump Administration's immigration principles.
"As a result, President Trump determined that the United States would end its participation in the Compact process that aims to reach international consensus at the UN in 2018."
The American Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, said the country would continue its "generosity" in supporting migrants and refugees around the world, but that "our decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans alone."
"We will decide how best to control our borders and who will be allowed to enter our country. The global approach in the New York Declaration is simply not compatible with US sovereignty."
Under Trump and his "America First" policies, the US has withdrawn from several global commitments made under the administration of president Barack Obama, including the Paris climate deal.
More recently, American pulled out of the Paris-based culture and education body, UNESCO, accusing it of "anti-Israel bias."

The United States should look out for the United States first and foremost. Unfortunately Obama turned us into an international charity organization for the last 8 years. Both foreign and domestic.
Apparently he never read the verse about removing the plank from your own eye before helping your neighbor.

UNESCO is as real as helping anyone as the UNICEF orange boxes at halloween actually going to starving children. Pull us out of the UN. If the establishment melts have at it. They better not try to JFK POTUS.

The sad thing is you are ignoring all facts on the subject, the most important being the US has settled more immigrants and refugees than all other nations on earth COMBINED over the last 50 years.
Are you unaware of this or just being a disingenuous little bitch?

You gotta laugh when Democrats throw out the “Isolationism” label for a country that is home to the UN and hosts embassies from every nation on earth. Not to mention our global military presence

How did you come to this decision? We already settle more than the rest of the UN COMBINED, yet somehow we need them to tell us how to do it?
You are simply suffering from TDS and are incapable of rational thought.

Jesus would never force you to do charity and good deeds at gun point. You do it as you see fit which is exactly what the US is doing here.
