Lou Barletta saw the dangers of illegal immigration almost twenty years ago, when he was mayor of Hazelton, PA. For objecting to the influx of illegals into his small town, he was scorned by members of both parties. Obviously, it didn’t hurt his political career at all, proving once again that both parties are clueless when it comes to this issue.

proving once again that both parties are clueless when it comes to this issue.

Being "clueless" implies a good-natured effort on the parties to do the right thing. They have no intention of doing the right thing on this issue and are completely aware of how wrong they are on the issue, both from a moral standpoint and a political impact standpoint. They are bought and sold by the Chamber of Commerce and big business. They have no sound principles backing up their Pro- Amnesty positions,.

Both parties are not clueless.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.
There has been a bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders for 30 years, starting with GHW Bush and continuing through Obama.
The GOP has been actively blocking US from electing anyone who would help the citizens to stop it.
Trump breaking through the Bush blockade at the RNC is the only reason we have not lost our country already.

What Hazleton could produce before it became a dunghole!

Back when Hazleton (they’re touchy about the spelling there) passed the city ordinance the locals were happy as hogs with a belly full of slop in a mud wallow.
The illegals were packing up and moving out left and right. Overnight.

When the court case started I signed some petitions and donated to the city fund every time I passed through.
I was still naive enough to think they could win.

Those folks loved their mayor for fighting the good fight.
I’m hoping he takes the Senate seat. Seems like a good man.
