Sounds to me like Congress is in bed with the foe Trump is trying to fight. Why would an immigration "hard-liner" confuse illegal aliens with immigrants?

I don't think statements like King's will have much impact on NAFTA negotiations because his "provision" doesn't apply to problems Trump is trying to fix. It's a little (if not greatly) bizarre that King would try to put up an obstacle like this. Weird!!
King stopped the possibility of the folks like Obama from manipulating trade treaties to include immigration because he was making sure increased immigration couldn't be a part of any treaty. Smart man. Rest assured, Rep. King (R-Iowa) is resolute in his battle against increased immigration. He has never done anything that I'm aware of to give anyone a reason to think otherwise.
