Mayor Greg Stanton, who attended President Obama’s speech today in Las Vegas, issued the following statement:

“Yesterday and today, national leaders finally are taking a step forward on immigration reform, and I’m incredibly hopeful that we’ll find a solution and achieve results. I met with President Obama before his speech and I told him I was proud of him. He encouraged me to keep encouraging our senators to move forward on immigration reform. I look forward to working on a new beginning on immigration, including border security, a pathway to citizenship, the DREAM Act and modernizing our visa system for high-tech companies. I’m optimistic we will find a solution that will power our economy forward with a talented and diverse workforce that makes our city competitive on a global level.”
