Roughly 10 pages of this TiSA agreement document leak are specifically about immigration.
“The existence of these ten pages on immigration in the Trade and Services Agreement make it absolutely clear in my mind that the administration is negotiating immigration – and for them to say they are not – they have a lot of explaining to do based on the actual text in this agreement,” Rosemary Jenks, the Director of Government Relations at Numbers USA, told Breitbart News following her review of these documents.
Jenks explained that under the agreement, the terms don’t have an economic needs based test, which currently U.S. law requires for some types of visa applications in order to show there aren’t American workers available to fill positions.
Secondly, on page 7 of the agreement, it suggests, “The period of processing applications may not exceed 30 days.”
“We will not be able to meet those requirements without essentially our government becoming a rubber stamp because it very often takes more than 30 days to process a temporary worker visa,” she said.
Jenks also spotted another issue with the application process.
“The fact that there’s a footnote in this agreement that says that face to face interviews are too burdensome … we’re supposed to be doing face to face interviews with applicants for temporary visas,” she added.
“According to the State Department Consular Officer, it’s the in person interviews that really gives the Consular Officer an opportunity to determine – is this person is a criminal, is this person a terrorist … all of those things are more easily determined when you’re sitting face to face with someone and asking those questions.”
The third issue is present on page 4 of the agreement. It only provides an “[X]” where the number of years would be filled in for the entry or temporary stay.
Jenks explained that for example, with L visas under current U.S. immigration law, the time limit is seven years – so if the agreement were to go beyond seven years, it would change current U.S. law.
This wouldn’t be unconstitutional if Obama has fast-track authority under TPA, as Congress would essentially have given him the power to finalize all aspects of the negotiations, including altering immigration law.
“I think this whole thing makes it very clear that this administration is negotiating immigration – intends to make immigration changes if they can get away with it, and I think it’s that much more critical that Congress ensure that the administration does not have the authority to negotiate immigration,” Jenks said.
CFR - Heidi Cruz is a member - promotes the the North American Union....read more.....”Building the North American Community” http://www.cfr.org/canada/building-north-american-community/p8102
Heidi S. Cruz was a member of the CFR Task Force for “Building the NorthAmerican Community:
“Heidi S. Cruz is an energy investment banker with Merrill Lynch in Houston, Texas. She served in the Bush White House under Dr. Condoleezza Rice as the Economic Director for the Western Hemisphere at the National Security Council, as teh Director of the Latin America Office at the U.S.Treasury Department, and as Special Assistant to Ambassador Robert B. Zoellick, U.S.Trade Representative. Prior to government service, Ms. Cruz was an investgment banker with J.P.Morgan in New York City.”
We listened to the Cruz support this bill.
A true GOPer he is. Lies. Lies. or Stupid beyond help.
There is NO reason for Cruz to give Obama, the
proven traitor and liar and fraud and destroyer,
even more power -— except he is running for
President of the GOP (Give Obama Power) party.
Even Sen. Warren is smarter than Cruz.
America needs a real conservative.
The powers that be want their cheap labor. Nobody who opposes that is going to occupy the Oval Office.
No true Conservative would give Obama a blank check on anything.
Cruz had me fooled. Fooled bad. I admit it. Yeah, it hurts a bit to ‘cause I liked his style, at first. ANYONE supporting or siding with ANYTHING that the America hater, Hussein Obama, wants is NO Conservative. Their is NOTHING Barry will not do to continue the destruction of our Country. These phony baloney’trade’ deals are just another major part of he and his NWO Globalist puppet master’s plan of reshaping America.....and even our own folks are falling for it and helping Barry! Insanity!
Texas Freepers need to rid Texas of the traitor Cruz. So many Freepers were thinking he was the savioure. Rand Paul from kentucky is another traitor So are McConnell, Graham, McCain, Johnson (WI) TRAITORS all of them!
Ted Cruz has put himself in a box. He said he read the TPP document. Thus, it would be difficult for him to announce he’s withdrawing support for TPP based on new information. No one has countered that the TPP document published by Wikileaks is not the real McCoy. Not one person.
To make matters worse for Ted Cruz, he and Paul Ryan co-authored an Op-Ed piece in the Wall Street Journal defending giving Obama new powers granted by the TPP.
Is Ted Cruz now staring into a political abyss? It seems so. However, Americans are a forgiving people. If Ted Cruz held a press conference and said he wrong about the TPP, he could still salvage his ship. Otherwise, he’ll have scuttled the vessel and might as well sink with it.
