OPINION — Rick Dime’s letter titled, “Before you vote, consider the recent past,” states something with which I totally agree, but not for the reasons he implies.
And I now see why his posts, which contain many incorrect assumptions, are allowed for publication since they have words like “seemingly” or “allegedly” which condemn immigrants and liberals but with non-specific accusations.
However, I must contest his assumptions with facts that can be checked easily. Fact: We, as a nation, benefit financially by millions from the presence of immigrants, even the undocumented ones. They pay taxes, hold essential jobs, have extremely low crime rates, can’t access government assistance programs and are an important part of the fabric of our communities — some here since childhood.
