Lou Barletta: “I would like to yield at this time to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Collins).”

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.

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

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.
