When Congress refused to play along with the administrations pipe dream to limit carbon dioxide emissions, Obama directed the EPA to impose binding regulations on its own. When Congress refused to erase our national borders and allow the unlimited influx of cheap laborers from abroad, Obama took it upon himself to rewrite the laws on his own.
The administration is set to conclude a sweeping international regulatory agreement known as the TransPacific Partnership, TPP, with 11 countries, from Mexico and Canada to Vietnam and Malaysia. Under the TPP, our national laws will be subordinated to binding, enforceable regulations Obama calls the rules for the worlds economy.
Buried deep in the secretive TPP agreement is an entire chapter on immigration, or as the bureaucrats call it, labor mobility. Leaked documents reveal that the corporatist cronies writing the TPP would be able to hire people anywhere in the world and bring them into the United States in unlimited numbers.
Globalist interests are pushing back against any attempt to limit their ability to move workers across borders at will. If they cant get their way through the legislative process, they simply look for a way to bypass Congress.

Apparently some on the far-right look at the TPP as an "liberal open-borders" agreement that Obama is trying to deliver without congress. Their opposition to immigration reform is notorious but this is a new take.

The RW xenophobes are nuts, to be sure, but if it helps scuttle the TPP, that's fine with me.

Oh, and Mitch McConnell has said he is looking FORWARD to working with Obama on the TPP, which is scary indeed.
