This is not the plan I signed up for.

 

"WASHINGTON, D.C., November 19, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Among the accomplishments President Donald Trump is most proud of is renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. But a group of GOP lawmakers voiced concerns over the ramifications of language about LGBT “discrimination.”

 

At issue is Chapter 23 of the deal, under which all three countries agree to “implement policies that protect workers against employment discrimination on the basis of,” among other things, “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”

 

“We recognize your tireless efforts to protect the American worker and the American economy,” 38 Republican members of Congress wrote in a November 16 letter to the president. “We are, however, deeply concerned by the unprecedented inclusion” of “sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) language for the first time in a Free Trade Agreement.”

 

“A trade agreement is no place for the adoption of social policy,” the signatories declared, warning that the elevating SOGI classifications to the same level as biological sex would “cause unnecessary confusion in further international treaties” and U.S. laws, as well as set a “dangerous precedent” for future judicial cases and administrative actions by future presidents."

"“It is especially inappropriate and insulting to our sovereignty to needlessly submit to social policies which the United States Congress has so far explicitly refused to accept,” the letter continued, noting that the language effectively codifies Obama-era executive orders on the subject, and would effectively bar Trump from rescinding them."
