The United Nations’ role in immigration policy is growing worldwide with the establishment of a U.N. “Network for Migration” in dozens of countries to facilitate large migratory flows, sparking alarm among American border-security advocates already concerned about mass migration and the escalating crisis at the U.S.–Mexico border.
The U.N. networks, which are led by a coalition of U.N. agencies, exist to support the implementation of the controversial Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM) adopted by the U.N. and over 150 of its member states in December 2018.
