US blows lid on UN 'replacement' plot to stop illegal migrants being deported from Britain

The Trump administration has accused the UN of a "replacement migration" plot to stop illegal migrants being deported from Britain.

The State Department - led by Marco Rubio - has confirmed that Washington refused to back the UN’s review of the Global Compact on Migration (GCM).

The GCM serves as the main international framework for "managing" migration, with implementation progress evaluated every four years.

The State Department said it objects to the blueprint, hitting out at "UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies".

The department directly accused UN agencies of "systematically facilitating" mass migration into America and Europe - while citizens voted for the opposite.

It also poured scorn on renewed UN efforts to expand migration pathways and pursue the "regularisation" of migrants.

"UN agencies - working with the NGOs they fund - established a migration corridor through Central America and to the US border," the State Department said.

"As the American people suffered under an unprecedented wave of mass migration, the UN was on the ground pipelining migrants to our southern border."

The Trump administration also put the spotlight on the UN's role in mass migration into Europe, noting that officials from the international organisation had "staffed all ends of the Mediterranean migration route" and condemned those who did not open their borders.

Turning its attention to Britain, the State Department attacked plans to deport migrants who had poured into the country via small boat.

It accused UN officials of "lobbying aviation regulators to prevent the deportation of migrants" from Britain.

Mr Rubio's department branded the move "an appalling violation of the UK’s national sovereignty".

It continued: "The GCM claims to support 'safe' migration. For the citizens of Western nations, mass migration was never safe.

"It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains, and undermined the cohesion of our societies.

"The United States will not legitimise global compacts that enable mass migration into America or Western nations.

"Under President Trump, the State Department will facilitate remigration - not replacement migration."

The intervention from Washington comes just days after the US released a new counter-terrorism strategy which warned that Europe had become an "incubator" for terrorism fuelled by mass migration.

The strategy warned that "well-organised hostile groups" were exploiting the continent's "open borders".

"The more these alien cultures grow, and the longer current European policies persist, the more terrorism is guaranteed,” the document warned.

In December, the Trump administration warned that Europe was on the verge of “civilisational erasure” due to mass migration, claiming the continent would be left “unrecognisable” within just 20 years.

The President issued the stark warning to US allies in his 33-page national security strategy.

According to the strategy, the US will seek to “cultivate resistance” in Europe and revive “Western identity".

It read: "It is more than plausible that within a few decades at the latest, certain Nato members will become majority non-European."
