The U.N. should pay back to the U.S. the money it spent on ushering unwelcome migrants across our borders illegally.
President Donald Trump shocked the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday in a scorching speech, dropping one truth bomb after another, as he called out the U.N. for actions that have harmed, not helped, nations.
“Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems it should, too often, it’s actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best example is the No. 1 political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration,” Trump said, telling those assembled, their countries “are being ruined.”
“The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders. In 2024 the U.N. budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States.”
The enormous spending Trump mentioned was for just one year, but as reported in The Federalist by Todd Bensman, a senior national security fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, the U.N. has been funding dangerous migration journeys and, ultimately, illegal entrance into the U.S. for years.
In his 2021 piece, Benman talks about “movement assistance,” in the form of bank transfers, prepaid plastic cards, and even envelopes of cash from U.N.-supported International Organization for Migration.
So, if you have ever wondered who funded illegal aliens who managed to walk thousands of miles and cross the U.S. border still looking fresh, with cell phones and water bottles in hand, the answer is: you. U.S. taxpayers gave money to the U.N., which helped flood the U.S. border, under the compliant Joe “Autopen” Biden administration.
“What took place is totally unacceptable. The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them, and not finance them. In the United States, we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, cause unmitigated crime and deplete our social safety net,” Trump said. “We have reasserted that America belongs to the American people, and I encourage all countries to take their own stand in defense of their citizens as well.” --->READ MORE HERE
President Donald Trump assailed the United Nations and other countries in a grievance-laden speech that saw him accuse the world body of offering nothing but “empty words,” label climate change a “con job” and warn that open borders are destroying them.
Setting aside calls for unity, Trump began his speech to the UN General Assembly by venting his frustration that the UN hadn’t done more to support his diplomatic efforts. He faulted the organization over an escalator that broke down just as First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it, said his teleprompter was also malfunctioning and ruminated on a two-decade-old grudge over his rejected bid to renovate the UN headquarters.
His closing message swept aside some of the UN’s most cherished files: climate change, which Trump repeatedly called a hoax, and uncontrolled migration, which he declared the top political issue of the era.
“Countries that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies on these two subjects. You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again,” Trump said Tuesday, after warning bluntly: “Your countries are going to hell.”
Americans accustomed to the US president’s discursive speeches would find much familiar in the address, which ran for nearly an hour. But foreign leaders not inured to Trump’s attacks witnessed a combative president who heaped himself with praise while repeatedly violating unwritten UN protocol of not criticizing other countries by name.
He faulted the UK and Germany over green-energy policies, and Greece and Switzerland for allowing in immigrants. He blasted Brazil for what he said was censorship and repression.
Trump cast his crackdown on migrants as a humanitarian effort because it kept people from enduring violence and death in the effort to enter the US. He touted a hat sold by his campaign that reads: “Trump was right about everything.”
“I don’t say that in a braggadocious way, but it’s true — I’ve been right about everything,” he said.
Trump called climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world” while criticizing renewable energy and praising coal.
“I have a little standing order in the White House — never use the word ‘coal,’ only use the words, ‘clean, beautiful coal,’” he said. “It sounds much better, doesn’t it?”
And while the speech reprised past themes and long-running gripes, Trump’s disdain for the UN reached a new level as he complained that the body is not helping his efforts to secure peace and grumbled about minor glitches. --->READ MORE HERE
