The Trump administration is deporting a few thousand of the millions whom the previous president allowed in through his open borders. This has prompted a reaction from the UN.
Many illegal migrants are being deported to countries where they do not belong. This ‘triggers a cascade of human rights violations’, according to ‘independent UN experts’.
> According to the more than 20 UN experts, at least 23,000 people have so far been deported to countries or territories with which they have no connection – so-called third countries.

The US has entered into agreements with almost 40 countries to receive migrants who cannot be sent home, such as Burundi, the Central African Republic, Congo, Libya, El Salvador and South Sudan.
The migrants often do not have ID with them, something we also recognise from asylum seekers in Norway, where well over 90 per cent of those seeking the services offered by the Norwegian welfare state have lost all forms of ID.
Nor is it unusual for asylum seekers to lie about which country they come from. We saw this clearly when Angela Merkel opened the floodgates to Syrian migrants, with many African migrants arriving in Europe and claiming that they were from Syria.
The countries the migrants come from often refuse to receive people who are returned. This also happens even when there is no doubt whatsoever about which country the migrants come from.
The so-called experts at the UN are very concerned that those who have entered the US illegally may experience crime upon return, particularly in so-called third countries.
> The group of experts adds that migrants are also being sent to places where they risk ‘further violence and discrimination on the grounds of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or their work for human rights’.
The UN does not appear to care about all the serious crime committed by such migrants in the US, which has affected thousands of American citizens.
Moreover, it is rather doubtful that a particularly large proportion of those who have slipped into the US can be described as human rights advocates. The proportion of migrants influenced by postmodern Western gender ideology is probably also very low.
The UN appears to be an organisation that focuses solely on human rights. The civil rights of Americans and Europeans who have to live with the consequences of mass immigration do not appear to mean very much to the delegates.
