Indeed, and the link that WG posted is merely the opening couple of minutes of a speech that is actually against the UN Global Compact for Migration;
This is the EU press release ;
http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-18-6417_en.htm
"It includes concrete actions that will help States to reduce irregular migration, for example through enhanced cooperation on addressing the drivers of migration, fighting trafficking in human beings and smuggling of migrants, managing borders and facilitating return"
"The Global Compact on Migration is not legally binding. Therefore, no legal obligations arise under domestic or international law for participating States."
“The Global Compact reaffirms the sovereign right of States to determine their national migration policy and their prerogative to govern migration within their jurisdiction, in conformity with international law.”
"The Global Compact aims at improving cooperation on international migration. It does not encourage migration, nor discourage it."
An the UK is committed to signing the Compact;

“As a leading voice in the negotiations, the UK Government secured positive outcomes in the final text which clearly support the Prime Minister’s main objectives as set out in her speech to the United Nations General Assembly.”
He added: “This includes a clear differentiation between refugees and migrants; the recognition of a state’s right to control their borders and proposals to help states build capacity in this area; and an explicit acknowledgement of states’ responsibility to accept the return of their nationals who no longer have the right to remain elsewhere.”
