Couldnt Obama use a trade agreement to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants? No. There is one section of TPP that concerns immigration, but it affects only foreign nationsthe United States has explicitly declined to sign on to that section.
Moreover, Senator Cruz introduced a TPA amendment to expressly prohibit any trade deal from attempting to alter our immigration laws.
Two Republican Senators (Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul) blocked the Senates consideration of that amendment, but the House of Representatives has agreed to include that language in the final text of the trade legislation. Thus, assuming the House honors that public commitment, federal law will explicitly prohibit any trade deal from impacting immigration.
And, regardless, no trade agreement can change U.S. law; only Congress can change U.S. law.
No we the people need to see what's in these agreements. Not some report submitted to Congress by Obama . we need to see them and congress needs to have the ability to stop agreements with amendments or the 60 percent Senate cloture etc. TPA takes away all of these tools that the Constitution granted to congress , the people and Stats to check Obama . what is your rush to give dictatorial power to Obama?
