With only two weeks until election day, here are three reasons that the Erie area of Pennsylvania should re-elect President Donald Trump and repudiate the Biden agenda.
Biden’s Dangerous Immigration Policies Make Our Neighborhoods Less Safe
While Pennsylvania cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh face the biggest challenges when it comes to illegal immigration, Erie has not been immune from dangerous illegal criminals wreaking havoc in its community. Early last year, two illegal immigrants from Belize were arrested after being shot along Erie’s Bayfront during a drug deal gone wrong. At least one of these illegal immigrants has a history of criminal activity in Belize yet found his way into the United States where he continued his malicious activities.
Men like this will be incentivized to enter the United States in a Biden-Harris administration. Biden has pledged halt deportations for at least the first 100 days of his administration while his running mate has openly advocated for decriminalizing illegal border crossings. These severely weak immigration policies will make Erie neighborhoods less safe while emboldening dangerous illegal criminals. Erie voters must reject Biden and Harris for their reckless immigration policies.
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 radical 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.
