Safety Valve | Skepticism over Trump’s promises and policies in 2nd term | Safety Valve: Letters from readers | wenatcheeworld.com

Well, here we go again. Former President Trump is now the President-elect, but we ladies can relax because he is going to protect us. He has promised no inflation (it is presently 2.4%), a superior economy, an end the war in Ukraine, he'll put onerous tariffs on China and less onerous tariffs on our allies, there'll be no taxes on tips or overtime, (sounds like budget busters), no more crime, he'll deport illegal immigrants, shrink government, and a bunch of other stuff that pops into his head like, punishing any adverse media and his political enemies.

President-elect Trump isn't the first President to execute a deportation effort; during a 1930s deportation effort, it was estimated that 60% of those deported were legal citizens populating the southwest before many Europeans arrived. In the 50s, Eisenhower deported over a million people in Operation Wet Back. Lest you think this is only a Republican issue, Obama deported more immigrants than former President Trump. This political football has a long history with little improvement.
