Mayor Greg Stanton released the following statement today about Arizona Sen. John McCain’s and Sen. Jeff Flake’s support for comprehensive immigration reform today:

“Comprehensive immigration reform is long past due for Phoenix, for Arizona and for our country. As Phoenix recovers from post-SB1070 damage, we have the opportunity to look toward a more promising future, one in which we can work together on common-sense policies that benefit our economy, our city and our residents — immigrant or not. At a time when bipartisanship is hard to find in Congress, I applaud our Arizona Sens. McCain and Flake for stepping up with their Democratic colleagues and working together toward a solution on immigration. Along with many other leaders in border states, I am optimistic that we can find a path toward success on comprehensive reform.”
