CONGRESSMAN Jared Polis 2nd DISTRICT OF COLORADO

Washington, Jul 28 - Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) today issued the following statement in response to U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton’s ruling blocking controversial sections of Arizona law S.B. 1070 that goes into effect tomorrow.

“With today’s injunction against the Arizona law, it is now more clear than ever that immigration is a federal responsibility.  I applaud Judge Bolton and the Obama administration for defending our constitution.  The people of Arizona and our country demand that Congress take action to replace our broken immigration system with one that works.  This judgment underscores the need for Congressional action.  Democrats and Republicans need to quit playing politics with this issue; it’s too important.”
