During a town hall event in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance emphasized the importance of prioritizing American citizens when it comes to allocating resources and showing compassion. Vance criticized the Biden-Harris administration, suggesting that they are more focused on providing assistance to undocumented immigrants rather than addressing the needs of American citizens.
Vance highlighted the challenges faced by Americans dealing with issues such as drug addiction and mental illness, stating that resources and compassion should be directed towards helping them first. He argued that strengthening the country internally is essential before extending support to others.
Expressing his belief in a hierarchy of duties based on the Christian principle of prioritizing family, community, and country, Vance underscored the importance of American leaders focusing on the well-being of their own citizens. He contended that the approach taken by his ticket, the Trump-Vance team, towards border security would lead to maximizing compassion not only for Americans but for everyone.
According to Vance, the strategy proposed by the Trump-Vance team aims to uphold the duty of American leaders to prioritize the needs of their fellow citizens while also maintaining a compassionate stance towards others. He suggested that a strong and secure country is better positioned to offer assistance and support to those in need, both domestically and internationally.
