Hatch: Legalizing Illegal Aliens Not a 'Boon' to Economy (Republican, wisdom, American)

[Benicar]

Washington » Sen. Orrin Hatch and fellow Republican senators criticized Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Friday for her recent remarks that putting undocumented immigrants on a path to citizenship would boost the economy.

"With all due respect, legalizing those who have no legal right to be in the United States will not be a 'boon' to American workers," the senators wrote. "Rather, it would only exacerbate the unfair competition American workers currently face as they struggle to find jobs."

The senators asked Napolitano to halt any talk of enacting a "legalization program" that would only hurt U.S. workers and impede law-abiding citizens opportunities during the economic downturn.

Now if only Senator Hatch would listen to his own wisdom and not support the DREAM act round two like he supported it in 2007.
