Amid a massive Haitian migrant wave that saw more than 14,000 migrants camped under a bridge at one point last week, the United Nations is demanding an end to "mass expulsions of individuals" and that the Biden administration end Title 42.

"I was shocked by images of the deplorable conditions beneath the concrete highway overpass in Del Rio, Texas, where more than 14,000 Haitians had gathered after arduous journeys from a number of countries in the Americas," UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said in a statement.

The Biden administration has been scrambling to deal with the crisis, surging resources, Border Patrol agents and increasing deportation flights – where it is removing single adults via Title 42 public health protections instituted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hold your water, UN. The deportations are mere window dressing.

I would generally agree, except that we then lose our veto power over the U.N.  At which point, we may be much more at the whim of their tender mercies than we are now.

The UN can get over it.
The FedGov is letting most of them in to the U.S.

I ask this not in a snarky manner, just curiosity of something I have no knowledge of ....what obligation do we actually have to the UN? What whim would we be at the mercy of?
