REPUBLICAN LEADER SAYS HE WANTS FINAL BORDER DEAL TO DETAIN AND DEPORT ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS

Senate Republican Whip John Thune said Tuesday he wants to suspend the Biden
administration's catch and release policy at the southern border and replace it
with detain and deport in the new border bill.

The United Nations has appealed for a whopping $7.9 billion to bolster its
efforts to migrate people around the world who it says have been forced to leave
their homes for various reasons, including climate change and conflict.




The plea was made by the U.N.’s International Organization for Migration (IOM)
in Geneva Monday to support its operations and help "create a system that
realizes migration’s promise as a force for good throughout the world."

"The IOM Global Appeal seeks funding to save lives and protect people on the
move, drive solutions to displacement and facilitate safe pathways for regular
migration," a statement released by the IOM says. Those objectives form part of
the IOM’s new five-year Global Strategic Plan.

The organization says that the nearly $8 billion would go toward serving nearly
140 million people, including internally displaced people and the local
communities that host them. Crucially, it would also allow for an expansion of
IOM’s development work, which helps prevent further displacement, the appeal
states.



The IOM has called on governments, the private sector, individual donors and
"other partners" to contribute to the fund, noting it’s the first time it has
put out such an appeal. 

Of the $7.9 billion, around $3.4 billion would go toward "saving lives and
protecting people on the move," and $1.6 billion would be spent on facilitating
"regular pathways for migration."



It is unclear how exactly this would be spent, but the U.N. has been known to
distribute cash debit cards to migrants and provide food, basic necessities and
prescription drugs.

Around $2.7 billion would be allotted for "solutions to displacement," including
reducing the risks and impacts of climate change, the appeal states, while
another $163 million would go toward "transforming IOM to deliver services in a
better, more effective way."



Amy Pope, the director general of the IOM, said migration has reached
unprecedented levels and that it benefits the world.

"The evidence is overwhelming that migration, when well managed, is a major
contributor to global prosperity and progress," Pope said.

"We are at a critical moment in time, and we have designed this appeal to help
deliver on that promise. We can and must do better."  

The appeal comes as countries around the world are facing hefty bills to house
and feed migrants who cross their borders illegally. 




WHO CHIEF SAYS 'DISEASE X' PREPARATION TREATY IN JEOPARDY, LOSS OF SOVEREIGNTY
IS ‘FAKE NEWS’

For instance, a study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)
last year found that illegal immigration is now costing U.S. taxpayers $151
billion a year, marking a 30% increase in five years. The largest cost that FAIR
identifies is K-12 education, which the group estimates costs $78 billion a
year.

The U.S. government is already the U.N.’s biggest donor, contributing about
$18.1 billion to the global body in 2022, a massive increase from its $12.5
billion allocation in 2021, according to the U.N.’s website.



The appeal states that there are an estimated 281 million "international
migrants" who generate 9.4% of global GDP, although it does not show how it came
to that figure. 




"Migration is a cornerstone of global development and prosperity," the appeal
states.

Many migrants make the often treacherous journeys to other countries to claim
asylum, and the appeal argues that limiting regular migration pathways and
protections leaves people vulnerable to violence, exploitation and danger.

For instance, the IOM estimated that at least 60,000 migrants died or
disappeared on perilous journeys over the last nine years. 



"The consequences of underfunded, piecemeal assistance come at a greater cost,
not just in terms of money but in greater danger to migrants through irregular
migration, trafficking and smuggling," the appeal states.



"Well-managed migration has the potential to advance development outcomes,
contribute to climate change adaptation, and promote a safer and more peaceful,
sustainable, prosperous and equitable future."
