McCain Backs Foreign Workers Plan By Scott Thomsen Associated Press December 30, 1999 PHOENIX -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain is supporting a plan that would allow more foreigners to work legally in the United States. During a campaign stop in his home state of Arizona on Wednesday, McCain told Hispanic business leaders that he favors creation of a new temporary workers program that would allow people from other countries to fill U.S. jobs... Josie Ippolito, who runs La Canasta Mexican Food Products Inc., said her company is struggling to find enough workers and might benefit from the chance to hire non-citizens. "Maybe that's a solution," she said. "We're open." McCain was in Arizona to place his name officially on the ballot for the state's Feb. 22 Republican presidential primary. He vowed to win his home state, where he's facing a strong challenge from national front-runner George W. Bush. McCain holds slight leads over the Texas governor in the early voting states of Arizona and New Hampshire, according to recent polls, while Bush leads elsewhere in the country. Bush has worked hard to gain key Republican support for his campaign, including from Gov. Jane Hull, in hopes of handing McCain an embarrassing defeat at home. McCain, acknowledging Bush's strength, said, "We still are a decided underdog, but we're confident we're going to make this a competitive race." In recent weeks, McCain has been campaigning extensively in New Hampshire, site of the nation's first primary on Feb. 1. He hopes to parlay success in the early primary states of New Hampshire, South Carolina and Arizona into a showdown March 7 when California and 11 other states vote in balloting that could, in effect, decide the Republican nomination. � Copyright 1999 The Associated Press -------------------------- Stupidity, alas, is seldom accompanied by humility.
