Lou Barletta: “Thank you, Mr. Fitzpatrick. Now I would like to yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Dent).”

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 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.

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