Why come all the way to the United States? Why put these children a thousand miles and risk their lives?
Lou Barletta
The Public Record
When we talk about pathway to citizenship, I believe it is not only about the 11 million that are here. I am worried about the 11 million more that will come because of that.
We are either going to be a country that respects our rule of law, or we are not.
If we don't do the due diligence to make sure that we are not allowing people into this country that will harm Americans, which I believe is our first priority of Government, is to protect the American people, then we are not doing our job.
When I saw our population grow by 50 percent but our tax revenue stay the same, realizing we had an illegal immigration problem, the quality of services suffered.
It is irresponsible to talk about what we will do before we can stop the flow into the country.
I do believe that DACA and our failure of enforcing our immigration laws are the cause of this.
If it is not our lack of enforcing immigration laws, why don't they stop somewhere in Mexico?
I am just worried about where the money is coming from and does that mean that that pot gets drained a little more?
