TPP Trade Deal Hits U.S. Immigration In ‘A Massive Way’ (Ryan lies)
breitbart ^ | 11/6/15 | a swoyer

Posted on 11/06/2015 6:34:36 AM PST by bestintxas

Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 58% previously denied that the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal impacted U.S. immigration; however, now that the full 5,544 pages of the TPP are public and being reviewed by experts, it’s clear Ryan’s statement was false.

“The way we wrote TPP, it deals strictly with trade and not immigration,” Ryan told Newsmax six months ago, adding that the idea the TPP consists of immigration reform is “the latest urban legend.”

However, in Chapter 12 of the TPP titled “Temporary Entry for Business Persons,” the word “immigration” is mentioned nearly 10 times. Furthermore, both Chapter 12 and Chapter 10 in the TPP deal with immigration law – specifically foreign workers entering the United States.

Rosemary Jenks, the Director of Government Relations for NumbersUSA, reviewed both Chapter 10 and Chapter 12 of the TPP and told Breitbart News that the TPP definitely impacts immigration in the United States.

When we say the TPP clearly impacts immigration, we’re saying that immigration is the entry of any foreign national into the United States whether on a visa or a visa waiver or a temporary basis or a permanent basis. Anytime a foreign national enters the United States that involves immigration. So, there is no question under my definition that TPP impacts immigration in a massive way.

Anyone who doesn’t believe illegal alien amnesty is Ryan’s job #1 as speaker hasn’t been paying attention at all.

Mr. Trump and Carson is the only ones not involved in this
treason and its coverup.

The sociopathic, EXEMPT GOP promised to repeal ObamaCARE
(which they invented and lied about) to win the
last US election.
The EXEMPT GOP lied. They always lie.
It is who they are.
It is how they have defined themselves into Eternity.
The lying GOP accepts Treason, fraud, no documentation,
arming al Qaeda, IRS abuse, and lie that they do not.

Nobody in Washington is paying attention! They have their own goals and objectives.

No, he wrote that he had not formed an opinion on TPP, because he hasn’t read it yet. The op-Ed was about TPA and his support for TPA changed when it included immigration language that he and Sessions fought against.

Yes, but Cruz came around and brilliantly, he ultimately energetically opposed the legislation. His position on trade is perfectly defensible from a conservative point of view. I have defended this position at length on these threads.

Next to Senator Sessions, no Senator can claim more energetic opposition to this than Ted Cruz.

I think Donald Trump was donating to Hillary at the time, or perhaps earlier.Trump supporters will be pleased to know that he and Hillary are once again on the same page, they both oppose legislation.

I don’t trust a word that comes out of Ryan’s mouth. He’s just another GOPe hack.

“I don’t trust a word that comes out of Ryan’s mouth. He’s just another GOPe hack.”

Worth repeating.

The tea party needs to prepare to primary Ryan in case he lives down to our expectations.
