Can't the UN Security Council veto this insane idea (the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration)? Almost all UN member states, except for the United States, Austria, Australia, Croatia, Hungary and possibly also the Czech Republic and Poland, are expected to sign it. Maybe after the caravan experience perhaps Mexico will refuse to sign it either. Note that Switzerland, Japan, and Australia also have very restrictive immigration policies - don't their governments (and people) realize what they are committing to?

◾ It cannot be stressed enough that this agreement is not about refugees fleeing persecution, or their rights to protection under international law. Instead, the agreement propagates the radical idea that migration – for any reason – is something that needs to be promoted, enabled and protected.

◾ The UN has no interest in admitting that its agreement promotes migration as a human right; until recently, there has been little debate about it. More debate might risk jeopardizing the entire project.

◾ UN member states are not only supposed to open their borders for the migrants of the world, but should also help them pick and choose their future country by providing them with comprehensive information about each country they may wish to settle in.

Key Points:

◾ Migration will be a human right.

◾ Countries must promote the cultures of these migrants and promote diversity to its citizens.

◾ Countries must help inform the migrants so they best can choose which country to migrate to, by means of a website, etc.

◾ Countries must sensitize and educate media professionals on migration-related issue and stop public funding to outlets that promote so-called "intolerance."

◾ Countries must work to eliminate all forms of COUNTER EXPRESSIONS to this mass migration.

◾ Newly arrived migrants in Europe should have the same rights to education and the labour market as native Europeans.

Important report on the DoD industrial base was released recently.

Long article on the industrial base report:

http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2018/10/4/report-defense-industrial-base-faces-unprecedented-challenges

“Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of the United States,” … identified five major challenges: sequestration and uncertainty of government spending; the decline of critical markets and suppliers; unintended consequences of U.S. government acquisition behavior; aggressive industrial policies of competitor nations — particularly China — and the loss of vital skills in the domestic workforce.

“Combined, these challenges – or macro forces – erode the capabilities of the manufacturing and defense industrial base and threaten the Department of Defense’s ability to be ready for the ‘fight tonight,’ and to retool for great power competition,” it stated.

The pressure exerted on the defense industrial base results in risks such as: single-source suppliers; fragile suppliers and markets; loss of specialized equipment and workers; material shortages; and a lack of capacity when needed, the report said.

For those who follow the defense industry, the 146-page report held few surprises. Industry has long complained about unstable federal budgets, Chinese intellectual property theft and a lack of skilled workers. The report, however, broke its findings down to more granular detail, citing several industries that are suffering under the five macro-economic factors.

Budget uncertainty and the decade-long reliance on congressional continuing resolutions has exacerbated uncertainty, both for DoD and across the supply chain and resulted in the “rise of single and sole source suppliers which create individual points of failure within the industrial base, as well as fragile suppliers near bankruptcy and entire industries near domestic extinction,” the report said.
