Sánchez statement on federal ruling on Arizona Law

Congresswoman Linda Sánchez (D-CA) issued the following statement regarding U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton’s decision granting a preliminary injunction against Arizona’s law, SB 1070:
“The Court’s decision today underscores the bottom line -- it is the federal government’s responsibility to set immigration policy.
“There is simply no way you can tell immigration status just by looking at someone. Policies requiring police officers to engage in racial profiling and compelling citizens and legal residents to carry papers with them at all times are the wrong response to solve our broken immigration system.
“I applaud the decision and look forward to getting back on track with immigration reform that is principled and pragmatic.”
