Lou Barletta: “I wish to yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Pitts). {time} 1250”

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.

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

I think that President Trump's commitment to getting an infrastructure package passed this year provides the perfect avenue to do that, whether it is through a gas tax, which I have consistently advocated for, or another user fee.

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