“The United States will not legitimize global compacts that enable mass migration into America or Western nations,” the State Department said.

No can do.
The U.S. State Department has officially snubbed a United Nations migration declaration, accusing the international body of encouraging what it labeled as “replacement immigration” in the United States and across Europe—an expression that has become politically and rhetorically charged in recent years.
The U.S. did not take part in the second International Migration Review Forum, held on May 5–8 at U.N. Headquarters in New York, and will not back the declaration, the department said in a statement, according to a story by Fox News.
According to the U.N. Network on Migration, the forum is the U.N.’s main global platform for member states to review the functioning of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. The 2026 forum was scheduled to produce an agreed intergovernmental “Progress Declaration.”
“As Secretary Rubio said, opening our doors to mass migration was a grave mistake that threatens the cohesion of our societies and the future of our peoples,” the State Department’s statement reads. “In recent years, Americans witnessed first-hand how mass immigration laid waste to our communities: crime and chaos at the border, states of emergency in major cities, and billions of taxpayer dollars funneled towards hotels, plane tickets, cell phones and cash cards for migrants.”

“Much of this was driven by UN agencies and their partners, which did not just facilitate the invasion of our country, but proceeded to redistribute our own people’s wealth and resources to millions of foreigners from the worst corners of the world,” it continued.
The department argued there was nothing safe, orderly or regular about any of this, adding that the costs “were borne primarily by working Americans forced to compete for scarce jobs, housing, and social services.”
President Donald Trump terminated the U.S. participation in the U.N. process to improve the Global Compact for Migration during his first term in 2017, and now the State Department says the federal government will once more assert its disagreement.
