Lou Barletta: “I wish to yield 7 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith), who is the sponsor of this bill.”

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

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 got my farmers asking for more workers and they have actually called me from Republican areas saying, 'Lou, we need more workers on our fields.'

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