 Sen. Salazar Applauds Judiciary Committee Compromise

Washington, D.C. – United States Senator Ken Salazar today released the following statement in response to the Judiciary Committee’s compromise on immigration legislation.

“I am pleased the Senate Judiciary Committee has arrived at a compromise that addresses our country’s immigration challenges so critical to strengthening our national and border security. Like many, I believe the only way to tackle this problem is through a bipartisan consensus. As immigration reform now moves to the floor, I look forward to working with my Democratic and Republican colleagues to build upon the work of the Committee. It is my hope that the Senate will enact a comprehensive immigration reform law that protects our borders and addresses the human and economic realities within our homeland."

Senator Salazar is an original co-sponsor of the bipartisan McCain-Kennedy immigration reform bill.
