Rep. Lou Barletta (R-Pa.)

A former three-term mayor of the lunchpail town of Hazleton, Barletta made national headlines a decade ago when he began cracking down on undocumented immigrants who'd flooded into his town in search of jobs and opportunities.

Barletta blamed the newcomers for an uptick in drugs and crime. He went after employers who hired undocumented workers and landlords who rented to them, successfully pursuing an ordinance that made that both practices illegal.

The law was declared unconstitutional in federal court. In 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a challenge to that lower court's ruling, ultimately letting it stand.
