Bills seek temporary foreign-worker program

With a federal guest-worker program seemingly off the table, some Arizona lawmakers want Washington to let them try.

Bills filed last week in Arizona’s House and Senate seek to create a temporary foreign-worker program that its supporters hope could serve as a model for the country.

Sen. Marsha Arzberger, D-Willcox, and Rep. Bill Konopnicki, R-Safford, noted early support for the bills, especially in the business community. They acknowledged their plan would require permission from Congress but could not gauge support at this point.

This Bill Konopnicki guy is a self serving slime. He has like 6 proposed bills to 'tweak' the employer sanctions law, essentially gutting it. And, of course this will be a BIG surprise, he owns a string of McDonalds restaurants. Gee, do you think he might be in politics for personal gain?
