With only two weeks until election day, here are three reasons that the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania should re-elect President Donald Trump and repudiate the Biden agenda.
Biden’s Dangerous Immigration Policies Make Our Neighborhoods Less Safe
Illegal border crossings pose a dangerous risk to Pittsburgh neighborhoods. In June, an Ecuadorian man illegally in the United States was arrested by Pittsburgh police for multiple offenses: aggravated assault, public intoxication, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. Despite committing these serious crimes, this illegal migrant was released back onto the streets due to Allegheny County’s sanctuary statute.
The Trump administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has taken action into their own hands to protect the people of Pittsburgh by actively searching for this illegal criminal; for example, ICE has produced a billboard with the dangerous illegal immigrant’s picture and description of the charges against him in an effort to catch him before he can inflict more harm on Pittsburgh citizens.
Joe Biden’s policies on immigration are abysmal. He pledges to give more than 11 million illegal immigrants citizenship and has committed to enacting a 100-day moratorium on deportations. Pittsburgh voters must reject Biden’s appeasement to dangerous illegal criminals at the expense of law-abiding Yinzers.
Biden is anti-Energy and conflicted on fracking?
The preponderance of evidence and public statements from Joe Biden point to an all-out assault on the US energy industry and particularly on fracking. But, during Biden’s last trip to Pennsylvania, he contradicted his own earlier statements to claim that he is not actually for serious restrictions on fracking. It is time for Biden to be crystal clear with the people of Pennsylvania, where fracking comprises a crucial economic pillar for so many citizens, especially in places like Washington, Bradford, and Westmoreland counties.
In February of this year, Biden pledged to “phase out” fracking. Similarly, in a Democratic primary debate last year, Biden agreed that there would be “no place” for fracking in a Biden administration. He also awkwardly asked a supporter to “look into my eyes” and said “I guarantee you we're going to end fossil fuels."
Biden’s record reflects many more similar threats against energy broadly -- and fracking specifically. The receipts of Joe Biden’s taped statements reveal a decidedly anti-energy career politician, one who threatens a key pillar of Pennsylvania’s prosperity, as well as jeopardize our nation’s national security. So, can Joe Biden kindly settle this public argument with himself, and report back to us which side won? Is Biden anti-fracking, and siding with his radial leftist allies like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and his running mate Kamala Harris who said “there’s no question I am in favor of banning fracking”? Or, does Biden dare to alienate his extremist supporters and actually support the energy industry of Pennsylvania? Time to come clean, Joe.
Joe Biden would strip PA citizens of their gun rights
Pennsylvanians rightly revere the Bill of Rights as the home state to the Constitutional Convention. Pennsylvania citizens particularly exercise their fundamental, God-given right to bear arms. In fact, the Keystone State has the second most hunting licenses of any state in America, just behind Texas in total hunting licenses, even though Texas has more than twice as many people.
Shockingly, Joe Biden has been consistent throughout the campaign in his intent to gut the Second Amendment. When CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Biden if he would come for the weapons of legal gun owners, his response was “Bingo, you’re right.” Biden has been clear that he will ban so-called “assault weapons” (a meaningless and redundant catchphrase), including the AR-15, the most popular rifle in America. In fact, he promised to make Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke the effective “gun czar” in a Biden administration. O’Rourke’s anti-gun stances place him at the far left of even the Democrat Party on the issue, as he openly threatens actual government confiscation of presently-legal firearms. Liberty-loving Pennsylvanians will not accept this anti-gun, anti-Bill of Rights agenda of Biden/Harris.
