Ros-Lehtinen Statement On SCOTUS Immigration Ruling

“Today’s ruling was an affirmation of separation of powers and federalism from the nation’s highest court.

While states enjoy great freedom to govern their own affairs, federal law is the ultimate arbiter. This decision underscores the need for comprehensive immigration reform that reflects the fact that we are both a nation of laws and of immigrants.

It is my sincere hope that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will take this ruling as the impetus needed to accomplish true immigration reform.”
