Lou Barletta: “I thank the gentlewoman from Kansas. I yield to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Barr).”

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.

It has been a frightening pattern by this President who continuously makes false statements about border security and immigration to the American public.

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 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.
