Please introduce or support a bill that would pull us out of the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. According to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Ottawa in 2019, 57-percent of the text of the USMCA is taken from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which President Trump rightly described as one of the worst trade deals ever negotiated. In the case of the USMCA, it undermines state right-to-work laws by recognizing the so-called right to “collective bargaining,” mandates federal protections for “gender-identity” and other “gender-related issues” in the workplace; provides for additional protections for “migrant workers,” promotes the United Nations’ globalist scheme for “sustainable development” throughout the environment chapter, and it subordinates the U.S. to international global governance organizations and conventions, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), International Labor Organizations (ILO), and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which the U.S. Senate has never ratified. Furthermore, chapter 30 of the USMCA establishes an administrative “Free Trade Commission,” similar to the “TPP Commission” of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The USMCA’s Free Trade Commission, just like the TPP Commission, is to be made up of unelected bureaucrats from all three governments. These individuals will not only oversee the implementation of the USMCA, they will also oversee a vast bureaucracy of 19 international committees that govern different sections of the agreement, and have to power to create more committees, and amend the agreement thereby making it into a “living agreement.” The primary objective of the USMCA is to merge the economy of the U.S. economy with that of Mexico and Canada, and to form a new North American bloc like the European Union. For example, at the signing ceremony for the USMCA in Bueno Aires, Argentina, on November 30, 2018, then-President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto touted how the USMCA would consolidate the “economic integration” of North America. Simply put, the USMCA is a stepping-stone toward even larger regional and global economic and political integration. Please introduce and co-sponsor legislation to formally withdraw the U.S. from the USMCA. Thank you.

Please introduce and support the passage of a bill that would formally withdraw the U.S. from the disastrous USMCA! Simply put, the USMCA is a disaster because, in part, it undermines our state's right-to-work laws by recognizing the so-called right to “collective bargaining” at the national level; it mandates federal protections for “gender-identity” and other “gender-related issues” in the workplace; the USMCA's Labor chapter provides for additional protections for “migrant workers;” the Environment chapter promotes the United Nations’ concept of “sustainable development;” and the USMCA subordinates the U.S. to international global governing bodies, such as the International Labor Organizations, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which President Reagan and Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick rejected as a globalist scheme and that the Senate has also refused to ratified. Terminate this bad deal, and let's get back to real classical trade between nations, not this type of regulated regionalism masquerading as "free trade."

I am writing asking you to support legislation to pull the U.S. out of the USMCA trade agreement. President Trump described both NAFTA and the TPP as the worst trade deals ever. Yet, Richard Haass, the president on the Council on Foreign Relations tweeted on October 2, 2018: “USMCA is NAFTA plus TPP plus a few tweaks.” Chapter 27 of the TPP established a ruling TPP Commission, likewise chapter 30 of the USMCA establishes a Free Trade Commission. The Free Trade Commission is to be made up of unelected government bureaucrats representing the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. In addition to overseeing the implementation of the USMCA, they will also oversee an international bureaucracy of 19 committees, each covering different sections of the agreement. The Commission can create more committees, merge existing committees, and also dissolve them. The Commission can also consider amendments to the agreement, thus making it a “living agreement.” Among the 19 committees established in the USMCA is a North American Competitiveness Committee, which is created with a "view to promoting further economic integration among the Parties." Even then-President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto touted in his remarks, just prior to signing the agreement on November 30, 2018, “The renegotiation of the new trade agreement sought to safeguard the vision of an integrated North America, the conviction that together we are stronger and more competitive.” Afterwards, Peña Nieto tweeted: “On my last day as President, I am very honored to have participated in the signing of the new Trade Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada. This day concludes a long process of dialogue and negotiation that will consolidate the economic integration of North America.” Just as the British people soundly rejected the European Union through Brexit, likewise I soundly reject this agreement that integrates North America towards a North America Union. Yes to friendship and commerce with all nations, but no to regional integration. Please introduce or co-sponsor legislation to "Amexit" the United States from the USMCA and it's coming EU-style North American Union.

Please support U.S. withdrawal from the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Richard N. Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), tweeted the following on January 23, 2020: "3 years ago the US withdrew from the TPP. US exporters have lost markets, & we lost an effective way to confront China over its trade practices. Meanwhile, much of the USMCA @realDonaldTrump brags about borrows from the TPP text. None of this makes any strategic or economic sense." Haass is correct in that much of the USMCA is virtually copy and pasted from President Obama and U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman's Trans-Pacific Partnership. However, unlike Haass, I'm glad the U.S. did not enter into the TPP. As former Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama exposed from the floor of the Senate, the TPP was a "nascent European Union," which in Chapter 27 of the TPP called for the creation of a governing TPP Commission that would have controlled much more than just trade, but also the movement of labor (i.e. migrants/ immigration) and regulated environmental policy - none of which belongs in a "free trade" agreement. Likewise, the USMCA does the same. Chapter 30 of the USMCA establishes its own governing Free Trade Commission that will oversee 19 transnational committees, including committees on the environment, labor, trades in good, agriculture, textiles, and a North American Competitiveness Committee (NACC), among other committees. According to Chapter 26 of the USMCA, the NACC is to be established with a "view to promoting further economic integration among the Parties." Chapter 26 further states, "The Competitiveness Committee shall [...] promotes economic integration and development within the free trade area." Just like how the TPP was merely a stepping-stop for a larger Trans-Pacific Union called the Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific (FTAAP), which would have included fellow APEC member-nations as Communist China and Russia, likewise the USMCA is merely a stepping-stone in the economic integration of North America toward a North American Union, in the style of the European Union. The USMCA is merely NAFTA updated with TPP language, thus making it even easier to join that sovereignty-destroying regional integration scheme. I reject U.S. entry in the TPP, FTAAP, or entering into a common market/ customs union with the EU. Most immediately, however, I oppose regional economic integration with Canada and Mexico toward an EU-style customs union for North America. As such, please introduce and pass legislation repealing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act of 2020 (H.R. 5430), thus withdrawing the U.S. from the horrible TPP-style USMCA.

Please endorse withdrawing from the USMCA. Although it was passed by an overwhelmingly bi-partisan majority in the House and Senate in 2019-20 and was also enthusiastically approved by President Trump, unfortunately this trade agreement undermines U.S. national sovereignty. For example, chapter 30 of the USMCA creates a regional governing body called the “Free Trade Commission,” similar to the Trans-Pacific Partnership's "TPP Commission." As in the case with the TPP Commission, the USMCA Free Trade Commission would likewise be comprised of unelected government bureaucrats from all three countries. These unelected representatives are responsible for managing the implementation of the trade scheme and overseeing a vast bureaucracy of 19 international committees, each governing a different chapter or section of the agreement. The USMCA Free Trade Commission has the power to create more/merge/dissolve committees, and to amend the agreement thus making it a “living agreement.” Furthermore, the USMCA subordinates the U.S. to international regulatory authorities such as the World Trade Organization, the International Labor Organization, the United Nations, the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, and numerous multilateral environmental agreements. This agreement is more about regional and global governance than it is about commerce. I urge you to withdraw from this agreement that undermines our nation's sovereignty by economic integrating North America into a unified bloc, leaning towards a customs union, such as the European Union. As such, please "Amexit," i.e. withdraw, the U.S. from the USMCA.
