I just want to keep America safe. Who could be against that?

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

In a city that is barely getting by with its small budget, something like illegal immigration can be the difference from being able to provide the level of public service that people expect.

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

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.
