As we have reported, on January 7, President Donald Trump issued an executive order terminating U.S. membership in and support of 66 international organizations and UN agencies. Hooray for that historic move! But, we have a question: Why wasn’t the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM) included on that list? The IOM is arguably one of the most destructive UN agencies. It is the engineer and paymaster for the horrendous migrant/refugee tsunami that is destabilizing and unraveling so many countries.
“Migration Queen” Amy Pope
IOM Director General Amy Pope was living it up last week with the billionaires in Davos, Switzerland, networking with the globalist tech titans, banking barons, media moguls, and corporate captains who have been supporting and promoting the UN’s harmful migration policies that are ravaging countries worldwide but have been particularly targeted at the United States and Europe.
In an on-the-street video from Davos, an ebullient Pope cheerfully reports that the global mass migrations her UN agency promotes and directs are a wonderful thing. “We’re unlocking new ways to mobilize support for people in crisis.” What about the “people in crisis” in the receiving countries who are experiencing devastating impacts on housing, welfare costs, welfare fraud, medical care, and crime caused by the migration waves? What about the millions of people who have been lured by IOM’s programs to migrate and have thus become genuine “people in crisis” as victims of scammers, traffickers, robbers, rapists, kidnappers, and drug cartels?
But Amy Pope (a CFR member and former Obama and Biden official) lives a privileged, pampered, protected life far from those concerns. Her fiefdom, the IOM, is headquartered in beautiful Geneva, virtually next door to the World Economic Forum’s global HQ. Her budget this year is $2.89 billion, but she’s begging for more — to help the “people in crisis,” of course.
Supporting Our Own Destruction
As we reported in 2024 (Invasion USA — Globalist Summit Wants to Spur More Mass Migration), Pope called on international donors — meaning the United States and other “rich” (and hyper-indebted) countries to pony up $7.9 billion. Where does that money go? To pay for food, transportation, shelter, phones, legal assistance, cash debit cards, and cash payments to caravans of migrants. (See here, here, and here.) The colossal fraud that is coming to light among the Somali “refugee” population is but the tip of a very large iceberg that stretches across every state, affecting every community — not only those that have designated themselves “sanctuaries.” In the past, the United States has contributed as much as 40 percent of the IOM budget.
The Trump administration reportedly has reduced financial support for the IOM, but we have not been able to find out the current level of funding. Why not leave the IOM and cut all taxpayer funding of this monstrosity?
