U.N. warns states on illegal immigrant rights

GENEVA (Reuters) – The United Nations said on Thursday governments must respect the rights of all migrants, in a statement apparently targeting measures including Arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants and French expulsions of Roma.

The statement from the Global Migration Group -- combining 12 U.N. agencies, the World Bank and the International Organization for Migration -- said it was concerned about the rights of tens of millions of migrants in 'irregular' circumstances around the globe.

Such people can include illegal immigrants or migrants whose asylum requests are not considered legitimate.

"This is our response to the global trend to confine migration policies solely within the narrow context of security and border control," U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay told reporters.

"This is a reminder that while states are entitled to regulate movement across their borders they must do so in accordance with their obligations under international law including international human rights law."

The statement said irregular migrants were particularly vulnerable to abuse. Governments too often treated them purely in terms of national security, often driven by hostile domestic political pressures.

Pillay said Arizona's new immigration law, passed to expel nearly half a million illegal immigrants from the state and stem the flow of human and drug smugglers over the border from Mexico, was certain to be raised at an international conference on migration in Mexico on November 8-11.

The South African jurist said the Global Forum on Migration and Development, an annual U.N. initiative, would discuss the measure, which U.N. officials have already denounced as discriminatory because it allows police to stop and search individuals on the suspicion they are illegal immigrants.

The statement is also directed among others at European governments and the way they treat Roma.

France's expulsion of Roma migrants over the summer sparked a row at an EU summit this month between France and Germany and led one EU official to recall Nazi persecution of the group.

Illegal aliens enter without visas or overstay. They are law breakers. We must not keep illegals here. They have to leave.

Wake up America! Your new masters are speaking!

I don't really care what the UN has to say.

They didn't deal with Saddam Hussein.

Dixie

Before Obama can involve us even more with the UN it is time to get out.
In fact is is well past time for the US to withdraw from the UN .

You are right Dixie...they didn't deal with Saddam Hussein. They pick and choose what countries they target and Obama set us up for this one on illegal immigration...not that the UN calls it that. They simply call it migration.

Kick ... no no DROP KICK this FLAKEY CORRUPT Organization off of our SOVEREIGN LAND.

FLAKE'S ~ R ~ US can go pound SAND

Counter Warning to the U.N.: The government in the United States is We The People. The U.N.-loving globablists have misled you to think they are in charge here. We The People WILL be securing our borders, enforcing our immigration laws, and ending this illegal migration invasion. You can't stop us. Seriously. We The People have NOT given you any authority over us. You can "warn" us all you want, but we WILL be putting a stop to this. We are doing so humanely, and we will continue to do so humanely, but we will continue.

In a clearly historical context

Can anyone begin to understand the conditions in pre war Germany that led to hitler and ww2?

Except hitler took it over the line

America is now getting close
We have a govt out of control , we have an invasion by unwanted foreign nationals , we have no one who is willing or able to lead us out of this mess

Will we follow the first person that credibly offers to lead this country
out of this mess and deal with the problem?

Thats what hitler promised Germany , they bought it hook line and sinker

Will we? should we?

Will the means justify the end?
