Sen. Cruz: Congress Must Prohibit Obama From Abusing TPA to Change Immigration Law
CRUZ FILES AMENDMENT TO TRADE PROMOTION AUTHORITY LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today filed an amendment to the Trade Act of 2015 to lock in assurances that this legislation cannot be used to change federal immigration law.

"The Obama Administration has repeatedly assured Members of Congress that
there is nothing in the Trade Act of 2015 that would allow the President to unilaterally make changes to federal immigration laws.
I agree, and we should put it in writing and make it binding law," said Sen. Cruz.
"I am a strong supporter of free trade, but I cannot support legislation that would allow the President to once again circumvent Congress to enact his own immigration laws.
Since the Obama Administration has emphatically argued
that TPA will not affect immigration,
it should support this amendment, which makes that promise explicit."

The amendment states that
nothing in the Trade Act of 2015 or in any trade agreement subject to the Act "shall alter or affect any law, regulation, or policy relating to immigration."

The amendment also states that
any fast-track procedures shall not apply to any implementing bill submitted with respect to a trade agreement
"that includes any provision that alters or affects any law, regulation, or policy relating to immigration."

The text of the bill is available here.

TRED CRUZ had a gut-ripping amendment to that bill.
So I support TED CRUZ !

TRED CRUZ had a gut-ripping amendment to that bill.

You really are stupid.

Ted Cruz offered that amendment after he voted to move the TPA along.

Ted Cruz's amendment went down in flames (like everyone knew it would) so the bill has NO PROTECTION from Obama flooding our nation with illegals.

On final vote, with the details still in secret and Cruz's amendment voted down, CRUZ VOTED TO PASS THE BILL

Ted Cruz wanted this to pass all along. He penned op eds and urged its passage. His amendment and talk was empty pabulum meant to sway the weak-minded, like you.

Ted Cruz is an establishment, amnesty, US Chamber, Golman Sachs Republican.

Ted Cruz, first term Senator....gives great speeches, then votes the other way....reminds me of another first-term Senator who ran for President.
