Arizona wants their own guestworker program , with
Workers ONLY from mexico


While that bill was winning approval, a proposal to create a pilot Arizona guest-worker program was being discussed by another legislative panel.

The Arizona Temporary Workers Program, or House Bill 2791, drew heavy support from Arizona's business community, whose members said they need the labor pool that Mexican guest workers could provide.

"There are gaps in our labor force," said Glenn Hamer, president of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce.

"There are certain areas where if we don't get much-need workers into our country, we will see business leave our state and our country."

The bill, introduced by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, would allow Arizona employers to recruit temporary workers, from Mexico only, after demonstrating that there is a shortage of local labor to fill jobs.

The bill outlines a process, to be run through the state's Industrial Commission, that would regulate the hiring of temporary workers.

Provisions include a criminal background check of the applicant and a two-year limit on a temporary-worker ID, although the time could be extended. Workers would be drawn only from Mexico and would be authorized to travel between Mexico and Arizona, but not other states.

I don't see any legal way they can make this stand up

They do not have the authority
