Lou Barletta: “Local law enforcement is the first line of defense in stopping any type of attacks.”

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.

It is time to secure our borders, enforce our Federal laws, and put America first.

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

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.
