Subway cameras, properly being care, completely totally different takes on migrant downside

Every New Yorker deserves properly being care

I was sorry to take heed to that Katie Couric was acknowledged with breast most cancers, and grateful that she should be OK [“Couric reveals cancer diagnosis,” flash!, Sept. 29]. Her suggestions that our properly being care inequities have created a caste system for properly being care should be heeded by our state leaders.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us one thing, it’s that our properly being care and our lives must in no way be tied to our employment. A minimal of 300,000 People died needlessly from COVID by way of March 2022 as a consequence of lack of medical insurance coverage. Some 42% of most cancers victims lose their life monetary financial savings inside two years of study. As of 2021, roughly $650 million, or about one-third of all funds raised by GoFundMe drives, went to medical campaigns. They’re really begging strangers to keep away from losing their lives.

The New York Effectively being Act has been languished in Albany for years, no matter majority assist in every chambers of the Legislature. The legal guidelines should be dropped on the floor. All New Yorkers have to have the constructive outlook that Couric has. No New Yorker deserves to be caught in a properly being care caste system.

Subway cameras not worth placing in

Placing in cameras in town’s trains is a waste of money [“Cameras for all NYC subway cars,” News, Sept. 21]. A number of these committing crimes are sporting hoodies and face masks, an many already have felony knowledge and figures they will be once more on the streets as a consequence of lax bail authorized pointers

Completely totally different takes on migrant downside

Throughout the late Nineteen Thirties and early ’40s, many European Jews fled their native properties. Proper now’s arguments in the direction of immigration from Latin America are similar to what we heard all through the persecution of Europe’s Jewish people [“Migrants’ travel stirs controversy,” Letters, Sept. 25].

Claims akin to substitute thought, completely totally different language utilization and the altering character of our nation are the similar now as all through the Nazis’ rise.

The people attempting to enter america have gone to good lengths to flee oppressive and tyrannical governments, just because the Jewish people tried to do in Europe.

Vary enriches our nation. We later realized our errors made 80 years up to now. Let’s not make the similar errors as soon as extra.

I ask myself almost day by day what it means to call oneself Catholic. Seeing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott acknowledged as Catholic by many media sources, I vehemently object.

Their mistreating these attempting to flee terrorism and hunger and search asylum by busing many with little uncover to totally different states should not be based mostly totally on Catholic faith factors. Our faith teaches loving others as ourselves and respecting the inherent dignity of all people, along with all races, nationalities, cultures and faiths, and displaying mercy and compassion to those in need. And being anti-abortion comprises loving and caring for all neighbors, at each stage of life, previous the fetus, along with children, adults and the aged. Our faith in no way limits the extent of loving others to 1’s native neighbors, buddies or family.

Although our bishops proper right here inside the Diocese of Rockville Coronary heart keep silent on current events linked to faith previous the abortion downside, Pope Francis and a number of other different totally different bishops have spoken out, becoming the remaining needed sources of inspiration to the rest of us, urging all to speak out and to insist that elected politicians act and work in the direction of explicit immigration protection modifications considerably than simply for reelection features.

Readers commenting on the inhumanity of busing among the many 1000’s of undocumented people crossing our southern border to sanctuary states must know that there may be collateral factors, as correctly. The 2001 terrorist assault on the World Commerce Coronary heart on 9/11 and the 1993 World Commerce Coronary heart bomb assault current that we are going to not be complacent about our nationwide security.

Airways launched stringent security measures which have decreased the chance of hijacking that occurred on 9/11. However, we proceed to be weak to terrorist assaults by totally different methods. Our southern border protection has in further than 2 million undocumented people attempting to enter america, with little or no security screening. This opens the door for terrorists who may want to assault us, and for South American cartels to introduce felony enterprises in our nation.

In light ofAfter the play fake of transporting of undocumented immigrants to what the governors of Florida and Texas actually really feel are liberal strongholds, I’ve a modest proposal. The governors and mayors in New York, Massachusetts, Washington, DC and Illinois must early-release felons from these states and metropolis on the scenario that they serve out the remainder of their sentences in Texas, Florida or Arizona.
