Jenks: Fast-Track Would Lead To Passage Of Trade Deal That Could ‘Open Up’ Immigration Laws
Breitbart.com ^ | June 15, 2015 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 06/15/2015 1:39:09 PM PDT by Jane Long

NumbersUSA Director of Government Relations Rosemary Jenks stated that if fast-track passed, Congress would not reject the Trade in Services Agreement, which could make the US “open up it’s immigration laws” on Monday’s “Laura Ingraham Show.”

Jenks said, “We have had Ambassador Froman, the US Trade Rep., go to Congress on multiple occasions and assure members of Congress that the United States is not negotiating immigration in TPP, the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Well, we know that there is in fact an immigration chapter in TPP, but it looks relatively harmless. What he failed to tell us, and members of Congress, is this whole other agreement, that is largely about immigration, the TiSA, the Trade in Services Agreement, it’s about the movement of people across borders to perform services. And, it’s all services....

In other words, take jobs from Americans....

Jenks added that Ryan’s argument that fast-track would put Congress “in the driver’s seat,” and that “you cannot put any immigration in here, you can’t put any climate change in a trade agreement” wasn’t true, although she pointed out that Ryan could think that “temporary entrance guest workers are not immigrants.”

In a situation where the details are hidden, I don’t know who to trust. That is why the details should be shown, so that we can KNOW what is going on.

Misled researchers and/or faux conservatives, all?

All this to defend Ted Cruz, who contradicted himself on TPA from one month to the next.

It is sad to see FReepers stoop this low.

Just admit Cruz threw in with the establishment on this issue and just leave it at that.

It does not disqualify him from being a good POTUS....it is just another piece of his personality we should know before we vote for him.

Wow...that’s a new low, SCP...calling those of us who don’t support the trade agreements, or my Sen Cruz’ support of trade agreements....communists? Progressives?? Democrat supporters????

This, and posting your *Myths* over and over are not doing much for your argument.

Yes. It’s really sad. See my post #24 for even more info on this *trade* agreement.

That’s misleading. It will all be one big package that only needs 51 votes. No matter how bad it is, it will pass. Every “free trade “ agreement so far has been a loser for the US and they all passed.

If it’s so much a “myth”, then let the draft phase of TPP/TISA/TTIP be opened.

Bingo! As long as the TPP text is secret and Conservative senators and congressmen disagree about its scope and content from their cursory readings, I will trust no one's interpretation. Declassify it all for open debate or else throw it out!

I think I said I believe Numbers USA over any Congressman or Senator. I don’t think the “C” word came into it. But you go ahead and vent. :-)

What do you have on the TiSA, the subject of the article?

Since Jenks has not read any undisclosed trade agreement, she relies on the dubious likely outdated leaks from Wikileaks.

Breitbart engages in slanted journalism that perpetuates false Internet rumors and unfounded conjecture.

They are not an objective news outlet on trade.

Breitbart has failed on investigative reporting. They are consistently slanted towards one side of the debate and proliferate Internet rumor and unfounded conjecture.

Jenks has no personal knowledge of what is contained in the unfinished TPP document, she is solely dependent and echoing dubious sources like Wikileaks.

Why don’t you mention who is art of the anti trade?

Richard Trumka
Elizabeth Warren
Hillary
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Teid
Barbara Boxer
Dick Durbin
Chuck Schumet

Have you seen the final TPP proposed agreement? No, I didn’t think so.

TPP has been in negotiation since 2009. It is still being negotiated and will continue to be negotiated long after TPA is approved or rejected.

Even after the TPP is finalized, who knows if the peasants will be allowed to see it? Are you surprised?
