\"FAIRLast month, the Senate\u00a0passed<\/a>\u00a0legislation granting President Obama fast track trade promotion authority (TPA).\u00a0With TPA, President Obama will be able to implement part of his immigration agenda through trade agreements instead of legislation in Congress!\u00a0<\/b>He is currently negotiating a major trade deal-known as the Trade Pacific Partnership (TPP)-where a “key feature” of the TPP is a “temporary entry” guest worker program!<\/p>\n

Call Your U.S. Representative NOW!<\/b><\/a>\u00a0Tell Him\/Her Congress Must Not Give President Obama Authority to Change Immigration Laws Through Trade Agreements!<\/b><\/p>\n

Supporters of the TPA claim that no immigration is involved in the trade deals, but they\u00a0refused to let the Senate vote<\/b>\u00a0on amendments that would have expressly denied the TPA the authority to change immigration law! In fact, past trade agreements have been used to\u00a0“dramatically alter established law and bring in more immigrants.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the fate of the TPA is up to the House of Representatives\u00a0and the vote is going to be close!<\/b>\u00a0We need your help, the House is planning to vote on TPA sometime\u00a0TOMORROW!<\/b><\/p>\n

The consequences of giving President Obama authority to fast track trade agreements are severe.\u00a0<\/b>Call your Representative NOW!<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Tell Him or Her:<\/p>\n
