 Sen. Salazar’s Statement on the Vote for Comprehensive Immigration Reform

WASHINGTON, D.C. – United States Senator Ken Salazar released the following statement on the vote regarding the immigration reform legislation on the floor of the U.S. Senate:

“I am disappointed the United States Senate did not, today, fix our broken borders and immigration system.

“This was our best chance to pass a bill that would secure our borders, strengthen and enforce our immigration laws and provide a realistic solution for the 12 million undocumented workers in our Nation.

“Our Nation badly needs the reform. Failure is not an option. I remain undaunted and will continue to work with the President and my Democratic and Republican colleagues to strengthen our National security and create a real immigration system for the future.”
