Lou Barletta: “In my 1 year here, I will tell you, I have seen more waste, fraud, and abuse in this Government, and it is absolutely…”

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 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.

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