Monet Bacs, strategic director for The LIBRE Initiative, issued the following statement prior to the hearing:
“As a border state, Arizonans – including Arizona’s Latino community – is bearing the brunt of a broken immigration system being exacerbated by Washington policies and lawmakers’ inability to find bipartisan solutions. We commend the House Judiciary Committee for holding its hearing on this important issue here in Arizona – to hear directly from our local community and local elected officials on what we are seeing every day as a border state.
We urge lawmakers, from both sides of the aisle, to enact solutions that secure our border, deter illegal crossings and streamline our existing legal channels.”
