Aren't there international treaties or UN policies that establish guidelines, standards or commitments wrt immigration?

I can't believe there's not more MSM discussion about revoking legal status, deporting people here legally, listing legal immigrants as 'dead' so they can't use banks or hold jobs, turning away those seeking refuge from persecution.

I know the 'declaration of emergency' was invoked...does that invalidate treaties? What are the governing international rules? How many of those now listed as 'dead' or who have had their legal status revoked have children or parents still here?

And let's hear more about the businesses that rely on legal immigrants and what is going to happen when they either leave on their own, are deported, or are disappeared? Daily outrages and individual stories suck up a lot of MSM oxygen, but these are important aspects of what is happening....
