OPINION: Three Reasons Flint-Saginaw-Bay City Should Vote to Re-Elect President Trump

Trumpcortes

With only two weeks to go before the November elections, here are three reasons that the Flint-Saginaw-Bay City area should repudiate the Biden agenda and rally to Trump’s re-elect.

Illegal migrant crime in the Flint-Saginaw-Bay City area

Illegal immigration is an issue that impacts Michiganders each and every day, including right here in Mid-Michigan. In some cases, our system is so broken that individuals are deported, yet find their way back to the state to commit more crimes. In the fall of 2019,  for example, a 40 year old individual who was previously-deported, was arrested for criminal sexual conduct in Saginaw. It’ completely unacceptable to have repeat offenders when it’s an individual who shouldn’t be in the country in the first place.

This highlights the importance of re-electing President Donald Trump. While Joe Biden and the radical-left now in charge of the Democrat Party promises to give citizenship to illegals, going as far as to promise them healthcare, President Trump understands the importance of securing the border and enforcing the laws on the books. While Joe Biden applauds sanctuary cities and local leaders who refuse to work with federal immigration officials, President Trump wants to defund sanctuary cities and give our immigration officials the resources they need to enforce the law and protect the borders.

President Trump saved Big Ten football

President Trump, almost single-handedly, saved the Big Ten football season. Trump used the bully pulpit of public pressure, plus private consultations that connected White House staff as well as relevant federal health authorities with Big Ten officials. These efforts convinced the Big Ten to reverse course and re-schedule the 2020 season. As the SEC and other conferences have already shown, sports can be operated with minimal virus risks and should commence nationwide. Young athletes are the very definition of people overwhelmingly not vulnerable to dire consequences from the China Virus. As such, no college conference bureaucrats or politicians should stand in the way of young athletes and parents who make the informed decision to manage risks effectively and engage in sports. The players, staff, and millions of fans of the Spartans and the Wolverines will enjoy college football next weekend, thanks to President Trump. In addition, the many ancillary businesses will also benefit, such as bars and restaurants on gamedays. 

Michigan will not retreat backward to economic globalism

Joe Biden has spent nearly a half century in the Washington swamp, and he’s been a true Delaware senator, representing the interests of giant multinational corporations and the prerogatives of foreign governments, to the detriment of American workers, especially heartland industrial workers in places like Michigan. In fact, Biden was a foremost proponent of the disastrous NAFTA agreement in 1994. From the ratification of NAFTA until President Trump’s election, Michigan lost a staggering 210,800 manufacturing jobs. Thankfully, President Trump renegotiated that terrible trade deal and replaced it with the USMCA pact which prioritizes American workers. Joe Biden was also the best friend the tyrants of Beijing could ever ask for in Washington. 

As senator and as vice-president, he aggressively pushed China’s inclusion into the World Trade Organization and enabled the Chinese Communist Party’s systematic abuse of American workers through trade practices that were predatory, not reciprocal, and even outright criminal. According to a study from the Economic Policy Institute, the state of Michigan lost 92,400 jobs due to the disastrous trade structures with China that Biden facilitated. While the Chinese Communist Party plundered American technology and destroyed American manufacturing jobs, Joe Biden had the gall to praise China, saying in 2011 that “a rising China is a positive, positive development, not only for China, but for America.” 

As then-Vice President Biden uttered that Pollyanna nonsense to his Davos-credentialed CEO fanboys, America’s industrial heartland endured devastation. Biden’s own family prospered though, as his wayward son Hunter received millions of dollars from the two most dangerous adversaries of the United States: China and Russia. The recent bombshell Senate Homeland Security Committee report detailed that Hunter collected massive sums from shady operators connected to Putin and the Chinese Communist Party. The Senate committee also provided new evidence that Joe Biden knew about it all as vice-president, and he did nothing to stop Hunter. The New York Post bombshell reports go even further, providing evidence that Hunter pledged portions of the ill-gotten proceeds to the “big guy,” whom Fox News sources confirm is Joe Biden himself.  

Just recently, Joe Biden promised to remove the tariffs that President Trump imposed on Chinese goods, without requiring any accommodation on the part of Beijing. Biden in the White House would send America back to globalism, and back to a position of economic supplication to China. Clearly, Joe Biden prioritizes places like Beijing over places like Battle Creek.
