Barletta supported President Donald Trump’s 2017 executive order striking a ban on entry to the U.S. to citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries, saying: “I commend President Trump for suspending the refugee program, and in particular for Syria and the six other countries, because they are unquestionably terrorist havens and hotspots.” In 2007, Barletta opposed comprehensive immigration reform.

In January 2018, CNN reported that Barletta had been associated with a number of fringe anti-immigration groups and organizations. In 2007, Barletta appeared with American Free Press’ “roving editor” Mark Anderson, a Bilderberg conspiracy theorist, and Holocaust denier, at a Hazleton rally in support of Anderson.

At the rally, Barletta said that the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 that the Bush administration was pursuing, would reward some immigrants who are “murders, rapists, thieves, and terrorists” with legal status. In 2007, Barletta gave an interview to Americans for Immigration Control, which believes the “annual tidal wave of over a million immigrants (legal and illegal) is endangering our American way of life.”In 2011, Barletta spoke at an event hosted by the anti-Muslim journal The Social Contract, whose editor is a white nationalist.

Lou Barletta Congress, What’s Next for Lou Barlette

Congressman Lou Barletta is not one to shy away from a fight. He came onto the national stage after his well-documented stand on illegal immigration when he was the mayor of Hazleton. During that time, he signed the illegal immigration reform act, which punished business owners and landlords who knowingly did business with illegal immigrants. The ordinance was ultimately found to be unconstitutional by the courts.

“I remember the ridicule that I took because I stood there by myself for a long time. There was nobody there to help and support me,” Barletta told Eyewitness News. Immigration was the single issue that Barletta would focus on.”You know, I was called a racist, a bigot. There were threats. What I went through that time and I look today and it’s one of the top issues in the country and it is still not fixed,” Barletta said.

Barletta said he is proud of his efforts to save taxpayers billions of dollars after reviewing leases signed by federal agencies for rental space. He also touts his efforts to help revive the coal industry by securing a $1 million federal grant to research rare earth elements, or REEs, that exist in anthracite coal, which are elements used in many electronic devices like cellphones and computers. Barletta insists he always tried to reach across the aisle.

So what is next for Barletta?

“I’ll never say never would I want to run for anything ever again. I’ll never say I wouldn’t. I’m looking at the options still on the table. I feel I have something to offer,” Barletta said. Barletta also said for now he wants to spend time with his family and friends.
