Right now, the Drudge Report headline is that president Obama is trying to use the trade in services agreement to change American immigration laws. No one in Congress has seen the proposed text of that agreement; they only know that it will be one of the treaties that would be included in the fast track legislation that has passed the Senate and is about to be voted on in the House. During hearings, the administration told Congress that it was not negotiating immigration in these trade deals, but Wikileaks got a section of the trade in services proposal and has put it online. It clearly deals with the movement of workers between countries and would affect American immigration laws.
If this were any other administration other than the thoroughly dishonest Obama administration, I would discount the accuracy of the materials leaked by Wikileaks. For Obama, however, telling lies to Congress and using a secret treaty to sneak through a change to immigration law that could never pass Congress is just normal behavior.
The House needs to defeat the fast track authority for Obama until such time as he presents the full text of the final agreements. Nothing else makes sense.
