WATCH: Trump Stuns UN, Exposes Their Efforts To Flood America With Third-Worlders
President Donald Trump blew into a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly like a windstorm on Monday, shaking up a normally placid affair where diplomats negotiate the future of trade and international relief.
Speaking directly to the gathered assembly members, the president excoriated them for financing refugees, asylum seekers, and criminals sojourning into the U.S. during the Biden administration. Most estimates peg the number of unauthorized new arrivals between 8 and 12 million.
“In 2024, the U.N. budgeted $374 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States. Think of that, the U.N. is supporting people who are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out,” Trump said with a grimace.
Continuing on, he revealed “the United Nations also provided food, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens.”
“Can you believe that? On the way to infiltrate our southern border,” he confessed.
“Millions of people came through that border just a year ago. Millions and millions of people were pouring in — 256 million altogether over the four years of the incompetent Biden administration. And now we have it stopped, totally stopped — in fact they’re not even coming anymore because they know they can’t get through.”
The U.S. pays an estimated 22% of the U.N.’s regular budget and over 26% of its peacekeeping budget, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. While the U.N. does not directly provide financial support to migrants, its ancillary network of charities that receive funding often do, with the understanding that U.S. money will backfill the U.N. budget.
“The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them… In the United States, we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, cause unmitigated crime, and deplete our social safety nets. We have reasserted that America belongs to the American people,” Trump asserted.

Following former President Joe Biden’s decision to relax restrictions at the southern border, tens of millions of migrants made the journey across South and Central America, a notoriously dangerous and expensive undertaking. New arrivals have spoken candidly with reporters about paying large bounties to coyotes, or human smugglers, to move into the U.S., or act as drug mules to earn their transportation.
Trump’s comments come hours after the U.S. Secret Service disrupted a plot to interfere with electronic communications in New York, where the U.N. gathering is being held. Agents believe that the network of electronic devices may have posed a security risk to U.N. members and are working to trace the SIM cards, totaling the equivalent of 100,000 cell phones.
