Campaign 2004 Utah’s Third Congressional District election race between incumbent Rep. Chris Cannon and former state Rep. Matt Throckmorton has turned to the issue of immigration reform. The candidates’ differences are rooted in their views towards proposals giving illegal farm workers in the country a chance to become permanent residents. Negative campaign advertising has turned the campaign into a “single-issue race,” third Republican candidate Greg Hawkins told The Salt Lake Tribune on March 29, 2004. The May 8 state Republican primary winner will face the sole Democratic challenger, Beau Babka. ***** President Bush defended his immigrant proposal on March 26, claiming that it would not give priority to illegal aliens from Mexico over legal immigrants in the U.S. The President emphasized the need for humanitarian treatment toward those illegal Mexicans who are helping the American economy by filling menial jobs that U.S. workers do not want. The proposal is unpopular among conservative voters, a constituency that the President needs during the upcoming election.
