The problem with secrecy is it leads to speculation
about the motives of those who are involved.
The latest trade deal has everyone wondering what could possibly be so
bad that the Obama administration won’t let the American people see what’s in
it. We are getting the usual, “We have
to pass the bill in order for you to see it.”
We’re already living the disaster that is
Obamacare. Do we want Obamatrade?
Breitbart reported the following:
Discovered inside the huge
tranche of secretive Obamatrade documents released by Wikileaks are key details
on how technically any Republican voting for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA)
that would fast-track trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
trade deal would technically also be voting to massively expand President
Obama’s executive authority when it comes to immigration matters.
The mainstream media covered the Wikileaks document
dump extensively, but did not mention the immigration chapter contained
within it, so Breitbart News took the documents to immigration experts to get
their take on it. Nobody has figured how big a deal the documents uncovered by
Wikileaks are until now. (See below)
The president’s Trade in Services Act (TiSA) documents, which is
one of the three different close-to-completely-negotiated deals that would be
fast-tracked making up the president’s trade agreement, show Obamatrade in fact
unilaterally alters current U.S. immigration law. TiSA, like TPP or the
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) deals, are international
trade agreements that President Obama is trying to force through to final
approval. The way he can do so is by getting Congress to give him fast-track
authority through TPA.
TiSA is even more secretive than TPP. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill
can review the text of TPP in a secret, secured room inside the Capitol—and in
some cases can bring staffers who have high enough security clearances—but with
TiSA, no such draft text is available.
Voting for TPA, of course, would essentially ensure the final
passage of each TPP, T-TIP, and TiSA by Congress, since in the history of
fast-track any deal that’s ever started on fast-track has been approved.
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.
Any politician that votes for this bill without
letting the American people see what’s in it doesn’t deserve to be in office.
