You wouldn't replace your carpet at home if you still had a hole in the roof...We're talking about any time you start waving a carrot such as American citizenship without securing the borders, that number [of undocumented immigrants] that we have today I believe will double or triple.

I love the new legal immigrants; they want their kids to be safe just like I do.

The federal government has failed us, so we, the elected officials of small-town America, are getting tough with illegal immigration.

People know that I'm going to do what's right.

Mayors do not have that authority to pick and choose what laws they're going to enforce.

I've been a voice for many people.

I'm Lou Barletta, and I'm a small town defender.
