Harrisburg, PA – While Bob Casey Jr. attempts to defend the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to secure the southern border, AFP Action is highlighting the incumbent Senator’s history of failure on border security.
- Bob Casey was the deciding vote to kill an amendment that would have provided funding for constructing a wall on the US-Mexico border.
- Bob Casey was the deciding vote to kill an amendment that would have provided $500 million for walls and fences along the southwest border.
- Despite the CPB’s support for building a border wall, Bob Casey has repeatedly stated that “it won’t work” and criticized previous attempts to restore order at the U.S.-Mexico border.
AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:
“Pennsylvania has been ravaged by the opioid epidemic. We know that fentanyl is entering the US through our porous border, but Bob Casey refuses to take the problem seriously because it would pit him against his progressive allies in DC.
“We need tall fences and wide gates, but to accomplish that we need real leadership that understands the plight of Pennsylvanians and takes the problem seriously. Bob Casey has shown his true colors on this issue. It’s time for new leadership in Washington, and Dave McCormick is ready to step up.”
