President Donald Trump vowed to end migrant flights to Pennsylvania during his rally in the state on Monday night.
Trump’s event in Indiana, Pennsylvania, drew thousands to hear his remarks focused on ending the “invasion” of the state.
“It takes centuries to build the unique character of each state. But reckless migration policy can change it quickly and permanently. Just like we’ve seen in London, and Paris, and Minneapolis. If Kamala Harris wins this election, she will flood Pennsylvania cities and towns with illegal migrants from all over the world—and Pennsylvania will not be Pennsylvania any longer,” Trump posted to Truth Social alongside video from his event.
“When I am president, all migrant flights to Pennsylvania will STOP the moment I take the oath of office. Those who do not belong, will be sent back home. We will end the invasion of small-town Pennsylvania—and we will END the destruction of America,” he added.
Trump also vowed to protect the U.S. steel industry as part of bringing back the American dream.
“We will bring back the American dream, bigger, better and stronger than ever before,” Trump told the audience.
“We are also going to keep U.S. steel right here in America,” he said. “We have to be strong and powerful again and we must put tariffs on foreign predators – they are predators – so they don’t destroy our steel industry.”
Trump’s comments also focused on steep tariffs on Mexico if needed to keep steel countries in the U.S.
“We must keep our steel companies and we must keep making steel…if we have a war…how do we build our tanks, how do we build our ships?” he said.
He also promised to terminate the natural gas export ban to help increase American energy production.
“I will get Pennsylvania energy workers pumping, fracking, drilling, and producing like never before!” he said.
Trump’s high-energy rally also focused on the need for Americans to show up and vote, especially in the background state of Pennsylvania. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remain close in recent state polls, with the 19 electoral votes key to securing a win for president in the election.
