Well, let me put it this way. I haven’t seen where it passed with the amendment. And if it did, I’m unaware of dear leader being exactly willing to follow the aspects of law he doesn’t like.
I don’t think it has been voted on yet. I could be wrong. I think cloture has passed but Ted Cruz got his amendment filed this time. McConnell was unable to cut him off like he did on the Iran bill. I don’t think McConnell could cut him off because the dems wanted their amendments in the bill.
My thinking is the Cruz amendment is the ball game. Who is going to vote down the Cruz amendment? If they do it basically is saying they give all immigration power to Obama and the internationalists. Cruz’ amendment puts the kabosh on that scenario.
We need to watch carefully the vote on the Cruz amendment.
The rest of the bill gives authority to Obama to negotiate trade deals. That’s a big item in itself but I am thinking Obama wanted to do an end-run around the injunction against his Executive Amnesty using this trade bill. He wants a 5 million to 11 million new voting bloc for the 2016 elections, or more accurately the hard core left behind Obama want that.
The rest of the bill is to be renewed in 2018 if the then President requests renewal. President Cruz will likely do the right thing then. But Obama gets 2 years to mess with trade. But like I said I think he wants to import that large illegal voting bloc more than anything else.
