Lou Barletta: “I believe our first priority in any type of immigration laws are, No. 1, to protect the American people.”

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.

We as a Congress have failed by not enforcing the laws of our land and refusing to put the safety and well-being of the American people first.

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 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.
