Letter: Harris, Perez better for America

By David Rose, VANCOUVER

The main issues that Donald Trump and Joe Kent criticize Kamala Harris and Joe Biden about are crime, immigration and the economy. They are lying to you.

During the Trump administration, January 2017 to January 2021, crime increased, while during the Biden administration (January 2021 to now), crime has dropped significantly. On immigration, there was a bipartisan bill that would have helped solve many border issues, but Trump told his allies not to vote for it so he could have this issue to complain about during this election. On the economy, Trump put 2.5 million people out of work and raised the unemployment rate from 4.7 percent to 6.3 percent. Biden has dropped the total number of unemployed from 10 million to 6.8 million and lowered the unemployment rate to 4.1 percent. Total net worth of America’s productivity has increased by 29 percent to $27.4 trillion under Biden. During Trump’s administration, productivity increased by only 13 percent.

America is booming. Vote for Kamala Harris and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez for a bright future. The immigration problem will be solved with Trump out of the picture.
