Immigration sermon is warped by fallacies
Manhattan: If your ballot successful the upcoming predetermination is based chiefly connected migration and the economy, I would suggest walking astir the municipality you unrecorded successful first. When you bash so, bash you consciousness threatened with carnal unit from those who talk small oregon nary English? I don’t. No 1 I cognize has been a unfortunate of transgression by an immigrant. A National Institute of Justice survey showed that immigrants, documented oregon not, perpetrate little transgression than U.S. citizens arsenic a percent of their population.
Look astir successful the stores and restaurants and you volition spot immigrants moving successful them, serving the public. They person jobs that galore citizens, particularly men, are nary longer consenting to do, specified arsenic connected farms (photo). The U.S. Chamber of Commerce says determination is simply a shortage of workers present and that determination are 8 cardinal jobs unfastened currently. There are galore immigrants filling jobs requiring higher method skills similar nursing and doctoring since determination is simply a shortage of citizens to capable them. These workers wage taxes and lend to the system of the towns by buying things successful stores and supermarkets. They assistance support these stores open. A Congressional Joint Economic Committee survey showed that immigrants walk $1.3 trillion annually. Some immigrants wage taxes but are not eligible for Medicare oregon Social Security. By paying taxes, they assistance support everyone’s taxes lower.
We should ballot by facts, not fearfulness oregon misplaced hate. If we ballot connected fear, we lone wounded ourselves and the economical vitality of the communities we unrecorded in. We indispensable dainty immigrants with respect and invited them to fortify our country. Ralph Palladino
Key word
Greenwood Lake, N.Y.: Once again, New York’s Hometown Newspaper is committing a prevarication of omission. Your editorial “Heed Lady Liberty’s message” (Oct. 28) talked astir the right’s anti-immigration stance. In the existent contented of yellowish journalism, you omitted the connection “illegal.” As for the Democrats, who are present saying they volition beryllium pugnacious connected (illegal) immigration, let’s look it: After 4 years of inaction, they person done thing much than beryllium themselves arsenic posers.

Revealing rally
Bronx: The Trump rally astatine MSG was perfectly deplorable. What was much insulting than the radical comments made by the miscreant comedian was the information that the assemblage did not ablution him successful boos. Those successful attendance were consenting to judge the insults, appalled oregon not, alternatively than to antagonistic with a antagonistic effect oregon walkout. So, wherefore would Donald Trump oregon JD Vance, appearing hours aft the insults, verbally apologize to the audience? Because the assemblage failed to show they were worthy of an apology. The campaign’s apology connected behalf of its sponsor was hollow and insincere. And present days later, Trump has not, successful his ain words, apologized to taste groups that were disparaged due to the fact that helium does not consciousness they warrant it. It is my fervent anticipation that his MSG lawsuit volition beryllium his Achilles bottommost travel Tuesday. Pamela Butler
Damnation
Carolina, R.I.: Your headlines are preposterous lies. There were 20,000 radical wrong of MSG and galore much extracurricular who could not get successful due to the fact that it was afloat of Americans from each races and backgrounds. There was not 1 hint oregon code of racist remarks astatine the rally. I was there, I traveled from New England to attend. You and your benignant are betrayers of America and Americans. You are betrayers unto God himself. You bash not study news, facts oregon truth. You are propagandists for the Obama/Clinton/Biden illegitimate and evil authorities that has stolen our nation. You bash the bidding for the bureaucracy that is holding America hostage. This is wherefore I nary longer person cable, work newspapers, spell to movies oregon enactment immoderate corp that does not enactment the truth. MAGA oregon Marx, God oregon the Devil? We are ankle heavy successful the publication of Revelations of Jesus Christ. Kevin McDonough
Not speechmaking that
Woodcliff Lake, N.J.: I person been a Daily News scholar for much than 40 years, but nary longer aft Monday. I haven’t adjacent opened the insubstantial I bought. All I person to bash is look astatine the header of your “Racist rally” nonfiction connected the beforehand page. Your insubstantial is specified a rag, and truthful divisive and judgmental, arsenic if you are the motivation compass of New York. You don’t adjacent person proofreaders who tin spell correctly. Everything astir your insubstantial has gone to the dogs (especially your articles), truthful here’s different long-time lawsuit who has decided to accidental sayonara. And by the way, you and your full unit are the racists. Kathie Renken
Dark history
Jacksonville, Fla.: In 1939, thousands of Nazi sympathizers crowded into New York City’s Madison Square Garden. On Sunday, thousands again gathered successful MSG to perceive to a lineup of Nazi-esque speakers, from the clown Tucker Carlson to a alleged comedian calling Puerto Rico “a floating heap of garbage”! If thousands of Americans haven’t woken up yet to who this straw-haired, orangish face-painted fool of an ex-president is, they ne'er will! Carl J.C. Hafner
Sittin’ pretty
Hampton Bays, L.I.: Trump asked Sunday if I americium amended disconnected present than 4 years ago. Yes, I am. Now I tin bargain toilet paper. Gene Kelly
Known quantity
High Bridge, N.J.: You’re told that you request encephalon surgery. The prime for the cognition is Doctor A with 4 years of palmy acquisition oregon Doctor B with nary operations performed, but the doc talks a bully game. If you’re not taking anserine pills, it’s an casual decision. Namely, Doctor A due to the fact that it’s your beingness connected the line. Why is the statesmanlike prime immoderate different? Trump has already done the occupation precise effectively, whereas Kamala Harris offers connection salads that accidental thing astir her past oregon imaginable enactment abilities. America’s aboriginal hangs successful the balance, based connected voters’ selections. World War III is much apt the effect conscionable due to the fact that you hatred Trump and truthful ballot for Harris? I take bid and prosperity instead, which is what the Trump grounds shows. Deeds, not words. Dennis Ferrere
Clout
Manhattan: Elon Musk spends millions to extremity the predetermination to Donald Trump. Bad Bunny spends thing and volition astir apt extremity the predetermination to Harris. Three cheers to Bad Bunny. This is genuinely ideology successful action. Leonard Smoke
Push it through
Manhattan: Kudos to the Daily News for highlighting “this caller epoch of clime change” (“Tempest and aftermath,” editorial, Oct. 28). We weren’t acceptable for Hurricane Sandy 12 years agone and, with Greenland and Antarctica melting, we’re hardly acceptable for whatever’s coming astatine america now. Your Editorial Board courageously touched connected the prickly substance of bureaucratic and different delays that artifact clime mitigation projects. Limited backing serves arsenic a favourite cause, oregon excuse, for specified blocks. And our governor, by failing to motion connected to the Climate Change Superfund Act, is annually preventing $2 cardinal successful fossil substance profits from helping to money clime mitigation. Gov. Hochul, heed Sandy’s informing and our cardinal needs today: Sign the Climate Change Superfund Act. Thomas A. Caffrey
Put riders first
Oceanside, L.I.: Re “Hochul indispensable support transit earlier it’s excessively late” (op-ed, Oct. 28): My pushback is the opposite. Open the MTA books to an autarkic audit to flush retired each the wasted dollars. Protecting and respecting the ridership is the adjacent priority. Address fare evasion to claw backmost each the millions of dollars not being collected. The information of the users of the subways and buses is next, and finally, the cleanliness of wide transit for the riders who usage these systems of transportation. The politician indispensable support the citizens and ridership first, past the interests of the MTA. Tony Giametta
