Letter: Article exposes myth on immigration

Thanks so much for the Sun's April 22 article, "Raids across U.S. send a message," regarding the raids of illegal immigrants around the country. What the article did was expose the myth that illegal immigrants do the jobs "Americans" won't do.

What the article showed was that the casino industry seems to have no problem finding documented, legal labor to do jobs such as housekeeping, dishwashing, outdoor garden maintenance, etc.

So why can't every legally operated business do the same?
