Lou Barletta: “I wish to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte), chairman of Judiciary.”

We have immigration laws for two reasons, to ensure the National security of the United States, and to protect American jobs.

I am always told we must have compassion for the person who breaks the law and comes to this country illegally, but rarely does someone speak up for the victims of this crime.

I think we need to make sure that we are not wasting these taxpayer dollars, but we are actually giving the dollars to States who have done things to reduce cost.

I got my farmers asking for more workers and they have actually called me from Republican areas saying, 'Lou, we need more workers on our fields.'
