Letter: Illegal aliens hurt economy

Friday, Aug. 10, 2001 | 4:23 a.m.

I for one am getting sick and tired from hearing all these businessmen telling us how these illegal aliens are important contributors to our economy. What they aren't telling us is that these illegal aliens are so important to their own economy with the below-standard wages they are paying these illegal aliens.

Look, it's simple. These people are in our country illegally and they need to be shipped back to where they came from. If they like our country bad enough let them come in as legal aliens. Looks like the immigration department has its hands full rounding up these illegal aliens.

Any businessman caught with illegal aliens should be penalized with a heavy fine. That should boost our economy by giving our people a decent livable wage as we Americans deserve.
