Proposed resolution at the United Nations on Immigrants was rejected only by the United States.

The resolution on refugees and the work of the United Nations (UN) Agency for these matters UNHCR, was rejected only by the US, considering that it was going against the policies of the current Government of President Trump.

Kelley Currie, North American diplomat, justified her vote – explaining that global approaches to immigration are incompatible with the interests of US sovereignty and criticized the inclusion of a paragraph on the importance of limiting the detention of asylum seekers.

Likewise, according to the Diplomat, it will continue to detain and prosecute all those who enter the United States illegally in line with the North American laws of immigration and the international interests of the United States.

It is important to say that the text of that resolution is not binding on the signatory countries and must be voted on by the complete UN.
