US quits UN global compact on migration, says it'll set its own policy

(CNN)The United States notified the United Nations that it will no longer take part in the global compact on migration, saying it undermines the nation's sovereignty.

The US has been a part of the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants since it was formed last year. The declaration aims to ensure the rights of migrants, help them resettle and provide them with access to education and jobs.
It calls for the negotiation of a global compact on migration, which is expected to be adopted next year.

You would think you would worry about the people already here before putting foreigners best interest first.

The US participation in the process started last year "following the Obama Administration's decision to join the UN's New York Declaration on Migration," according to the United States Mission to the UN.
