To the Editor:

Since the debate all we have heard is that President Biden should step down. Why aren't the Republicans calling out Trump for his performance? He lies, cheats, steals and is a convicted felon. Why do Republicans think he is an acceptable candidate? 

I am a registered Republican and I think he is despicable. In the debate he said "immigrants  are taking black and Hispanic jobs." Trump once again demonstrates his racism by opening his mouth. What does he think are "black & hispanic jobs"? Why are they different than white jobs? He perpetuates one of the oldest and ugliest lies that immigrants are criminals.  Inequality Media reports that statistically immigrants are 60% less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born citizens. The Cato Institute found new immigrants pay $1.38 in taxes for each dollar of benefits they receive.

Again Trump states immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country." The real poisoning is spewed from Trump's mouth.
