State chamber defends Kyl on immigration/amnesty front

The Phoenix Business Journal

The Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry and some leading state Republicans are coming to the defense of U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl in the bitter debate over illegal immigration and proposed federal reforms.

The Arizona chamber said earlier this week in a statement that it supports Kyl's efforts on immigration and that the senator is trying to work out immigration reforms that balance security with a guest worker plan and other aspects of the debate.

Business groups, including the Arizona chamber and U.S. Chamber of Commerce, support the immigration plan favored by Kyl and fellow U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. They like the measure's guest worker component, which would allow between 200,000 and 400,000 foreign laborers to get new U.S. work permits.
