HCM2013~AZ Temporary Worker Program: Memorial

HCM 2013 urges federal authorization for the Arizona Temporary Worker Program (ATWP). The bill requests that Congress does not increase current visa allocation numbers in order to implement ATWP. I am voting "NO" on this bill as I believe that we first need to secure our borders before implementing this program and I also believe that we need to increase the number of certain visas. (There are 23 different classifications.)

We are currently on the floor of the House voting on this piece of legislation and there are 39 ayes and 19 nays so far. Looks like this is not a party line vote since 4 Democrats are voting against this bill.

The bill passed 39-19.
