Lou Barletta: “No factor under school control affects student achievement more than the quality for the teachers in the classroom.”

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.

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.

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.
