Stating that “TPP contains no change to immigration law” is a semantic rather than a factual argument. Language already present in both TPA and TPP provide the basis for admitting more foreign workers, and for longer periods of time, and language could later be added to TPP or any future trade deal to further increase such admissions.
Immigration is the least of the problems with the TPP.
I think it is hand in glove with the globalist ideology that drives these agreements, so all the issues are interwoven....including immigration.
But immigration in this time of extremely employment participation in America is a crucial issue as well that’s on the heart and mind of everyday Americans.
Here is an idea:
Let these companies promote trade on their own.
You’re not suggesting that they mind their own business (so the speak) are you?
:>)
Thanks for posting this, I am always interested in reading about what Sen. Jeff Sessions has to say on these topics!
Well, yes.
Evidently, with all the secrecy, this bill nullifies the Constitution. And the Republicans are pushing the bill.
TPA is nothing more than nobama taking another hugh step towards the destruction of America.
Hard to believe that Congress would even consider such a thing.
All evidence I've seen proves this is true.
But nobama cannot slow down. He's got till Jan 20, 2017 to finish the destruction of America. I hope and pray that he fails.
OT but sorta relevant: the period from the election in November, 2016 till Jan 20, 2017 is gonna be devastating. Thousands of pardons, etc. nobama has already tossed aside our Constitution. Can you imagine what he'll do during this period? His to do list is probably already lengthy.
He is my Senator and I consider him the best up there in Sodom on the Potomac. I wish people like Senator Sessions would run for president. But Mr. Sessions does not run for president because he refuses to lie to get the position. An honest, Christian man.
Now you have hit on the real problem. Republican conspiracy to help destroy the US economy. Mitch McConnell and John Boehner are worse than Barack Obama.
I agree, he’s the best up there; you are blessed to have such a man representing your State!
With the way these "free trade" agreements are negotiated, they basically are. They (big business) pack the agreements with what they want, the rest of us be damned.
Regulatory disputes in FTAs are resolved by the Arbitration Panels and a national judiciary is required to honor the Panel's ruling.
Remember the disputes from NAFTA? Metalclad, Methenex, Canadian Softwoods, Mexican Trucks.
In the hands of someone like Obama, or of most leading republicans today, immigration would likely prove to be among the biggest, if not the biggest, problems with TPP.
If they exhibit an anti-American bent, I would withdraw from the agreement.
In the meantime, follow the Constitution.
We have 45 days of freedom left
Obama and his FCC thugs are about to destroy and take over the Internet in 45 days:

Internet and thought control begins in 45 days!
Center for Individual Freedom
UPDATE: The implementation of Barack Obama’s takeover of the Internet is less than 45 days away. And as Marsha Blackburn says, if Congress does not take action to stop Barack Obama, the government will “control the Internet” in a little over the month.
It doesn't work like that.
On one side are the protections for the investors/business and on the other side are the regulatory protections such as for labor, environment, or social welfare.
So if you are an American, it depends on whether you are a US investor in the company in Mexico or if you are an American worker who lost your job to NAFTA.
It also depends on your job. If you are a sewing machine operator, its bad news because the FTA opened the US market(no tariffs). But if you work on a farm growing corn its good news because the FTA opened the market to US corn(no tariffs).
As a generality, you say that a capital market economy will produce more winners and fewer losers than say a socialist economy.
So, all modern day socialists support a capital market economy, but because even capitalism creates winners and losers, the socialists will seek political solutions to the inequities. If a worker loses his job to an FTA, then he should be entitled to govt paid retraining and if he can't find a job that pays as well as the job he lost, then he should be entitled to wage insurance paid for by the govt.
