Omnibus: Another blow to constitutional government

UNITED NATIONS – The year-end spending bill adopted by Congress advances the globalist agenda of the Obama administration that calls for the free movement of people, goods and capital throughout the world.

The so-called omnibus spending bill fully funds an open-borders policy and subjugates U.S. law to the dictates of unelected foreign bureaucrats.

First, the catchall legislation removes limits on the number of visas for low-skill and no-skill labor entering the country. As a result, more entry level jobs in hotels, restaurants, theme parks and day care – jobs that once put teenagers and other Americans on the first rung of the employment ladder – will now be filled by foreigners rather than U.S. citizens.

This is more than an oversight by those who drafted the bill. It fulfills the wishes of a corporatist cabal that seeks an all access pass to go fishing in the global labor pool. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which actually represents international corporations – today's CommIntern – listed expanding the guest worker visa program as one of its "Policy Priorities for 2015."

The CommIntern's desires get the good housekeeping seal of approval from the panjandrums of the United Nations. They solemnly declare it a humanitarian imperative to allow workers to move as freely between Mexico City and Houston as they now move between Chicago and Phoenix.

Paul Ryan is on the same page. While pimping "immigration reform" with arch open borders advocate Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Ryan laid out his vision: "We want to have a system where people can come here and work– go back and forth if they want to … so that we have an open door to the people who want to come."

Ryan enthusiastically embraces the "free movement of people and goods" ideology. It's revealing that he consistently speaks of "our economy" rather than "our country."

Paul Ryan's America is not really a country. Ryan says, "When you think about America, it's not just a country. America is an idea. It's an idea that people from all over the world aspire to achieve." Ideas, unlike countries, don't have borders.

Ryan's declaration that America is "more than our borders" finds expression in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, TPP, another of his pet causes. As WND has reported, the text of the TPP says a Mexican trimming grass or changing sheets at a U.S. hotel is actually involved in the "cross-border supply of services," as if foreign nationals carry the border with them wherever they are.

The omnibus bill fulfills another part of the globalist agenda by fully funding the administration's refugee resettlement programs.

The internationalists say "migrants" should have full access to all social services in the countries where they find themselves, whether they arrived in compliance with the law or not. The omnibus obliges by extending the earned income tax credit and other welfare benefits to all comers, and by refusing to penalize so-called sanctuary cities. If San Francisco wants to give food stamps to people who overstay their visas or never had one, the federal government will not stand in the way.

And finally, by passing the omnibus, Congress did not only cave into Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, it subjugated the law of the land to an unelected foreign court which told America "rewrite your laws – or else."

The omnibus demonstrated exactly how so-called free trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership would place our immigration, food, energy and even national security policies in the hands of faceless foreign technocrats.

The omnibus nullifies the popular Country of Origin Label law, which requires meat sold in supermarkets to carry a label telling consumers its country of origin. A kangaroo court convened by the World Trade Organization and headed by a Mexican judge declared our law to be a "barrier to trade." Americans prefer to feed their families food grown in the U.S., and sales of Mexican meat plummeted after the law went into effect. Mexico sued, and the foreign court told the U.S. to scrap the law or be penalized with billions of dollars in trade sanctions. Congress complied, denying Americans the right to know where the food on store shelves comes from.

And the Trans-Pacific Partnership will create more of these courts. Foreign corporations and governments will be able to challenge the laws governing immigration, energy, land use, the Internet and virtually anything made or sold within or outside our borders.

Apologists for the TPP who claim these courts cannot overturn our laws are deliberately misleading us. These courts will threaten to impose crippling sanctions on the U.S. The omnibus episode provides a clear picture of how a spineless Congress will willingly overturn our laws and bow to the globalist interests.

With the passage of the omnibus spending bill, Paul Ryan's Congress took another step toward emasculating the legislative branch, aggrandizing a unitary executive, erasing our borders, outsourcing crucial functions of government to foreign entities and eviscerating constitutional government.
