Lou Barletta: “Terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country.”

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

I have been greatly disappointed by President Trump's proposed cuts to these vital programs, but remain committed to supporting much-needed homeland security grants to communities across this country.

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 am encouraged that President Trump has put a priority on enforcement and that the American people finally have a partner in the White House with their best interests at heart.
