EXCLUSIVE: Amid U.S. immigration uproar, UN set to pick new special advisor on migration as focus for next effort

Amid the furor over the Trump Administration’s temporary refugee ban and immigration restrictions, the United Nations is preparing to announce a new top-level official position to advise on international migration issues, internal sources have told Fox News.

The position will help to focus additional international attention—and, likely, political fireworks-- on the issues of international refugees and migration in advance of an international conference slated for 2018.  Among other things, the upcoming conference has a goal to create the basis for an international agreement on “safe, orderly and regular migration.”

In other words, the meeting is liable to be even more of an international focal point for the intense international immigration debate that is roiling U.S. political waters, and also stirring governments and political parties across Europe.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

According to some reports, there exist draft executive orders reducing US funding to the United Nations and other international organizations by at least 40% overall.
