Bombshell: Obamatrade rewrites immigration law
Exclusive: Curtis Ellis on how TPP takes power from Congress' hands

UNITED NATIONS – The Obama administration has been forced to reveal what it’s long been trying to hide: Obamatrade rewrites immigration law.
The administration has been negotiating Obamatrade, aka the Trans-Pacific Partnership, in secret. This sweeping international regulatory agreement spans 12 countries on four continents. The White House calls it “the rules for the world’s economy.” It will regulate all energy, food, medicine, investment, information, services, manufactured goods – and immigration.
The text of the agreement has been cloaked in such secrecy that lawmakers were only allowed to read it if they swore not to reveal its contents.
Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request, we now know this globalist agreement includes an entire chapter on immigration.
The U.S. trade representative released the titles of the chapters in the agreement, and one is titled “Temporary Entry of Business Persons.”
“Temporary Entry” is a euphemism. In fact, it opens a loophole that would allow international bureaucrats to rewrite our immigration laws to allow the unrestricted entry of foreign workers – and Congress would be unable to do anything about it.
Every so-called free-trade agreement since the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, has set rules governing the movement of workers, with the numbers and types of workers continuing to expand with each new agreement. The Korea-U.S. free-trade agreement cemented into law a visa waiver program that allows foreign corporations to bring an unlimited number of people into this country for an initial period of up to five years, with unlimited extensions.
The trade pact Canada is negotiating with the European Union would allow corporations to bring in unlimited numbers of contract workers in a broad number of fields including manufacturing and construction.
A corporatist wish list for Obamatrade declares, “The TPP should remove restrictions on nationality or residency requirements for the selection of personnel.”
Washington has already been handing out “temporary” work permits like Mardi Gras beads. In fact, the immigration reform legislation supported by Sen. Marco Rubio would triple the number of guest worker visas, such as H1B and L1 visas, deceptively called “non-immigrant” visas.
On this count, Sen. Rubio is in bed with Obama, who recently bragged, “My administration is going to reform the L-1B visa category, which allows corporations to temporarily move workers from a foreign office to a U.S. office in a faster, simpler way. … this could benefit hundreds of thousands of nonimmigrant workers.”
But by enshrining foreign worker permits in an international “trade” agreement, Congress would no longer have any say on immigration policy concocted by international bureaucrats.
These latest revelations confirm what Sen. Jeff Sessions warned after reading a draft of the Obamatrade agreement in a guarded room in the basement of the Capitol.
The senator from Alabama told his colleagues “before the ink is dry” on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, President Obama or his successor could negotiate “and agree to changes in our immigration laws” without congressional approval.
The supporters of Obamatrade – most notably Rep. Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell – denied there was anything in the pact that concerned immigration.
We now know they were lying to us.
Are you surprised?
