"Morris also weighed in on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-nation trade agreement that President Barack Obama is trying to fast-track with the support of a host of Republicans, who say the agreement would boost U.S. exports and give the U.S. economy a jolt.
In reality, Morris said, the agreement would open the floodgates for immigrants to legally come to the U.S.
"This is huge," he said. "People don't understand that in this deal — which is a trade agreement among Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam ... Japan, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Peru, [Brunei, Singapore, New Zealand] and Chile — there's a provision for free flow of workers, just like the European Union. It means unrestricted immigration.
"It means literally that Congress would not have the authority to restrict immigration because a treaty supersedes the statute under our Constitution," he said.
"Under the guise of a trade agreement … any Mexican can come to the United States legally, stay here, be naturalized, become a citizen and vote."
Obama, he said, is trying to circumvent the legislative process and trying to use treaty authority that a future president cannot change. It would strip away the power of the Congress to limit immigration, Morris said.
"Obama's putting it in a treaty and asking Congress to approve fast-track authority," he said. "The idea that with all the power this president has grabbed, the Republicans are about to give him fast-track, which means he can do any trade agreement he wants? And the Democrats are opposing this.
"It is entirely Republican votes that are pushing it, and they just don't understand what's in the damn bill."
