U.N. to hand out marching orders on immigration
Obama administration adopting international guidance
UNITED NATIONS – The Obama administration’s immigration policy should come into clearer focus when world leaders gather at the United Nations later this month for the General Assembly.
The Obama administration has been adopting U.N. guidance on immigration, such as the U.N.’s recommendation to “move away from the detention of all migrants… particularly unaccompanied minors, and families with children. Aim to eradicate the detention of children completely … Age verification is not a justification for detention.”
While the United Nations officially differentiates between war refugees and what it calls “economic migrants,” or those seeking jobs in the developed world, its response to the current crisis in Europe has blurred the distinction.
In the lexicon of the U.N., “migrants” is the favored term for people crossing borders. “Migrants,” rather than “refugees” or “immigrants” is how the corporate media describes those flooding into Europe from the Middle East and North Africa.
And according to the U.N. view, “migration” should be encouraged, not stopped.
“Migration is a long-standing part of the human condition and, in the globalized and conflict-ridden world in which we live, it is inevitable,” declares a June 15 report on the refugee crisis in Europe by François Crépeau, United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants. “Migration is here to stay.”
The report goes on to say “building fences … will not stop migrants from coming,” and recommends against even trying to stop them because “democratic borders are porous by nature.”
Instead of fences and walls, governments should construct “legal and safe mobility solutions” and “migration policies that facilitate mobility and celebrate diversity,” the U.N. report says. It declares flatly “sealing international borders is impossible,” and those who refuse to accept this are largely xenophobes and racists who don’t appreciate “difference and diversity.”
Peter Sutherland, the Secretary General’s special representative on international migration, shares that view. From his perch as chairman of Goldman Sachs International and special U.N. envoy, he has pushed for open borders on a global scale, long before the war in Syria and photos of drowned toddlers grabbed the world’s attention.
In 2012, Sutherland told the House of Lords the European Union must “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states. He believes culturally distinct nations cannot survive and “have to become more open states, in terms of the people who inhabit them,” the BBC reported.
Sutherland, who served as the first director-general of the World Trade Organization and has been called the father of globalization, says all “individuals should have a freedom of choice” about where to live and work, whether or not their home country is engulfed in war. This, he says, is a “crucial dynamic for economic growth.”
“Economic growth,” not humanitarian impulse, is the real driver of the immigration policy. Having an ever larger pool of labor available on a global scale for the corporate elites is Sutherland’s mission. Letting this man write immigration policy is like putting a pedophile in charge of a Girl Scout jamboree, critics say.
With populations in Western Europe and other developed nations aging, the U.N. says smart policymakers should be “taking a long-term view and banking on mobility over the next 25 years,” and “make promoting genuine mobility for … migrants the cornerstone of the Global Approach to Migration and Mobility.”
The U.N. report concludes by saying, “Committing to a generational shift in migration policy that recognizes that external mobility can mirror the benefits of internal mobility, will … allow the European Union to truly promote its founding values in its relations with the rest of the world, as envisaged in its Constitutional Treaty.”
The “founding values” made explicit in the EU’s Constitutional Treaty are the free movement of people, goods, services and capital.
As WND has reported, the free flow of people, goods and capital is also the goal of the TransPacific Partnership “trade” agreement being pushed by the Obama administration and GOP leadership.

People of diverse cultures should stay in their own tribe and stay in their own section of the globe. That way their diversity can be maintained and can be appreciated better by everyone in the world. If you want to see a different culture and experience it, then you can travel to that part of the globe. Sutherland needs to build some of those 5hr. housing in his backyard so he can enjoy the diversity of the Syrians and whatever other migrants want to go to his house and neighborhood. This guy is an idiot and should be put in a cage. If they stay in their own area they will be better off. Just give them the tools they need to create their own economy, work, housing, farming, etc. and whatever they need because the people are not going to pay for them. It's the old "if you don't work you don't eat" philosophy from the bible, which by the way was written to get people to be productive members of society.
These people WILL NOT go to other countries and rape people's daughters. The people will capture every one of them and castrate them, and then ship them back to their own country or permanently encarcerate them. If you have a bunch of jungle monkeys and sand monkeys coming to civilized countries and doing what ever they want which infringes on other people and breaks society's moral code, this WILL be dealt with by the people and they won't be waiting for Sutherland to make up more preposterous rules!
