GARDENDALE, Ala., February 19, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Gerrick Wilkins, a conservative candidate for Congress in Alabama's 6th District, has announced a proposal to defund the United Nations (UN) and reallocate those funds to domestic projects. This announcement was made during a recent event in Gardendale, Alabama, following a report by the Center for Immigration Studies which revealed the UN's budget plans for U.S.-bound migrants in 2024.

According to Wilkins, the UN, which receives significant funding from the United States, plans to allocate millions of dollars to migrants heading to the U.S. "This is not just concerning; it's an outright affront to our national sovereignty and security," Wilkins stated, expressing his disapproval of the UN's actions and the rationale behind his proposal.

Wilkins argues that the approximately $10 billion annually contributed by the U.S. to the UN could be better spent on pressing domestic issues. "Imagine the impact of those billions on our infrastructure, veteran support, and most crucially, on securing our borders," he said, outlining his vision for reallocating these funds towards improvements in infrastructure, veteran support, and border security.

The candidate's stance is part of a broader "Alabama First" philosophy, emphasizing fiscal responsibility, national security, and enhancing the quality of life for Americans. Wilkins believes that defunding the UN and redirecting those resources to domestic priorities would better serve American interests and align with the values of Alabama's residents.

"A move to defund the UN and invest in our nation’s critical needs aligns perfectly with the values and priorities of the people of Alabama," Wilkins concluded, highlighting his commitment to focusing on American interests over international organizations.
