Letters to the Editor

Using illegal labor should be illegal

We need jobs! Don’t tell me that crops are rotting in the fields when I drive past three construction sites every day and no non-Latino in sight?

I drive past two roofing jobs and no non-Latino in sight. I drive by three house-painting jobs every day and there might be one non-Latino and two Latinos painting … this in just one neighborhood in a midsize city at the foot of Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga. Illegal is illegal, and using illegals should be illegal too!

JAMES WILBURN, Fort Oglethorpe
