Glassman: Ruling Makes Clear Federal Immigration Reform is Needed Now
July 28, 2010
PHOENIX, Ariz. – U.S. Senate candidate Rodney Glassman issued the following statement in response to U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton’s ruling that blocks the most controversial aspects of SB 1070 from taking effect on Thursday:
“I said on the day that Gov. Jan Brewer signed this bill that it was inappropriate and that I believed it was constitutionally questionable.”
“This ruling further emphasizes that the federal government needs to make immigration reform a high priority,” Glassman added. “For 28 years, John McCain has been on every side of the immigration issue, and has done nothing to solve this huge problem that has a major impact on Arizona. McCain’s failure in Washington has left Arizonans feeling frustrated, which led to SB 1070. Arizona needs a U.S. Senator who will help bring all sides to the table for meaningful federal reform on this critical issue.”
