Lou Barletta: “We are losing our young people. We educate them and they end up going somewhere else to a job.”

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.

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 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.
