I don't believe JD was one of the sponsors of the Kolbe-Flake-McCain guest worker bill, which legalizes those who are already here working; but he MAY support some form of guest worker legislation.

BUT he is against the proposed "Protect Arizona Now" initiative; probably because it appears "mean-spirited".

Laura Ingraham interviewed Hayworth on her show this morning and asked him about PAN. He stated that he was against it because the costs of illegal immigration are primarily in federal programs, and that this is a federal responsibility.

This didn't make a lot of sense to me, since the state actions in PAN wouldn't preclude the federal government also doing something at some point in the future.

He did state his opposition in very gentle terms, though. Kept saying how he sympathized with his constituents that support the measure, and that he shared their frustration.

My memory must be going. Thanks for the 'gentle correction'!
