“According to Morris, the TPP “contains a barely noticed provision that allows for the free migration of labor among the signatory nations.” Indeed, that element is actually patterned after similar provisions in the treaties foisted on European peoples to destroy national sovereignty and impose the unaccountable super-state now known as the European Union. The provision on immigration, Morris said, “would override national immigration restrictions in the name of facilitating free flow of labor.” That could “easily be interpreted” as “allowing farm workers and others to flow back and forth without legal regulation,” he added.
Aside from the open borders component, it would also be a massive blow to the U.S. Constitution. “The treaty could lead to the effective repeal of the specifically enumerated power granted to Congress in Article I of the Constitution to regulate immigration and naturalization,” Morris said. “While the treaty is still being negotiated, the current focus on white-collar immigration [is] sufficiently elastic to allow open borders.”
Now, just where this statement is glossed over in the text, I don’t know. I thought it was still under lock and key. Is the entire document at your link, or is some still secret?
Ah. Somehow I was hoping for an actual quote that said "allow working people from all signing countries to move freely to all other signing countries". If that's not in there (or at least something that clearly says the same thing) then I can't use it to complain to my lawmakers.

It's what everyone in the trade office says we got, but if they're secretly hiding something then nobody would ever know --not even the foreigners wanting to 'move freely'-- so then it wouldn't be a problem.
