Ted Cruz was interviewed just now by Mark Levin. During the interview, Cruz stated that he and Sessions tried unsuccessfully to get added to TPA a clause that placed immigration forever off of trade agreements. Note that.
Trey Gowdy released this last week in defense of his vote for TPA:
“Finally, this new and modernized version of TPA in no way endangers U.S. sovereignty; rather, it empowers Congress and the American people, not the president or the executive branch. The TPA bill specifically says that any provision of a trade agreement that conflicts with U.S. law, be it immigration, environmental regulations or labor rules, will have no effect, and that U.S. law will supersede any foreign law in a dispute.”
Gowdy lied.
Trade law myths - you posted this in defense of Cruz’s first vote:
“Future trade deals would not be unconstitutional, nor would they undermine U.S. sovereignty, if they contained an agreement to submit some disputes to an international tribunal for an initial determination. The United States will always have the ultimate say over what its domestic laws provide. No future agreement could grant an international organization the power to change U.S. laws.”
According to what Cruz just said, that there were no immigration restrictions placed in TPA, the above quote is not true and is the reason he voted against it today. Now there are some talking points Cruz released to justify his first vote wherein he stated that immigration restrictions were in fact contained in the TPA he voted for. He was not telling the truth then. I will find it when I have the time.
This Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...

Obama has been working on this TPP obamatrade agreement for at least 5 years in Secret.
Congress just voted to give Obama fast track trade promotion authority to pass this horrendous trojan horse secret agreement. That means that Congress cannot even debate about this nor add amendments and only 51% of the vote is needed to pass it instead of the usual 60% needed (cloture) .
This TPP is something that the left and Obama have been crafting for 5 years and now gets no debate and cannot even seen by the American people only after they shove it down our throat.
They voted to let Obama act like a dictator to pass this country destroying TPP. So Obama gets to pass his own law in which the left have crafted MANY ways to get around U.S. immigration law. They call it “trade in services” which is really Obama’s immigration agenda. If you read these links you’ll see all this is true. One link is from Jeff Sessions
