Thread: Another great American steps up to the plate! Lou Barletta

Lou Dobbs Tonight - CNN - June 21, 2006

Dobbs: This is a strong move you're taking, unlike some cities, about 40 in the country that have sanctuary laws. You're doing the inverse. You're saying if you're illegal, you're not welcome in Hazleton. What's been the reaction?

Barletta: Well, the reaction is I'm doing what the people of Hazleton elected me to do and that's to protect them and protect the quality of life...

Dobbs: Have you received more criticism or more support for the plan?

Barletta: It's been incredible. We've touched a nerve in the American people across the country. I'm getting e-mails from every state in the United States in support of this. We have over 3,000 e- mails in support of what we're doing here and maybe 10 that have been negative in that aspect.

Glad he's getting positive support.

This guy kicks...uhhhhh...you know what.

I just about dropped dead--a politician actually talking about protecting Americans, not the illegals. He must be ill or something...

We are so proud and so appreciative of him. I think Pennsylvanians would be doing themselves and our country a great justice if they would move him up on the ladder from Mayor to senator or governor.

Thank you so very much, Mayor Barletta !! What a breath of fresh air for Pennsylvania and for our country !!

Write him here, there's a link and a copy of the ordinance to send your local government.
