Letter to the editor: Promises — Do they always come true
Free stuff. Buying votes??? Remember when NY’s Mamdani used “free stuff” to win votes? He offered FREE day care ($200/week x 50 weeks =$10,000). FREE buses — ($1.00/ride x $10/week x 50 weeks = $500). City run grocery stores with 30% lower costs. (putting other food store out of business). Freezing rents!
The list goes on.
All of which never happened for the people of New York. So why can’t Trump say that due to all the returning manufacturing companies & tariffs he’s planning to give $5,000 to Americans. Yea! I’m all for it. Hope it happens.
He already gave us “no tax “on tips, on Social Security and on overtime. He took Illegals off SNAP, closed the border and is working on finishing the wall in Arizona.
He is removing the illegal immigrants (already 2 million are gone). What more can he do to show you he is working for all of us, whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican or an Independent.
They are sniffing out fraud and holding people accountable and working to retrieve the stolen money. He’s getting rid of TPS (Temporary Protective Status) people who came due to issues in their own country, which have resolved, so now, they need to go back home. It was supposed to be only a temporary stay.
We need laws. That is how we survive. No way, should we defund the police, dismantle the Supreme Court, get rid of Congress, or replace the Presidential position. And how can our country afford free health care for everyone — They would have to raise all our taxes to pay for it. There is already government help for low income families.
IMO it is a shame for any state to fight Law Enforcement efforts of using ICE to remove all illegals from the USA. There is a legal process that has been in place for many years for people to come here -you must be able to support yourself. No free hand outs. Why are democrats protecting illegals? Why aren’t they worried about us, the American Citizens?
