N.C. State radio broadcast Gary Hahn has been suspended for mentioning "illegal aliens" during the Sun Bowl in El Paso Friday.

"One other bowl game involving an ACC team going on, that's the Sun Bowl, and amongst all the illegal aliens down in El Paso, it's UCLA 14 and Pittsburgh 6," Hahn said.

The Sun Bowl fan fest was canceled last week because El Paso is using its convention center to house around 1,000 immigrants. The city's mayor, Oscar Leeser, declared a state of emergency earlier this month, and the convention center was converted into a shelter due to abnormally cold temperatures.
Hahn is an employee of Learfield Communications, which suspended him for the comments. He has been the voice of N.C. State football and men's basketball since 1991.
