 Statement from Congressman Gosar on the Appeals Court Ruling Against Arizona

U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, DDS (AZ-01) on the Appeals Court ruling upholding the Department of Justice’s challenge of Arizona’s immigration law:

“I am disappointed that rather than enforcing the laws on the books, the federal government is wasting time and resources suing the state of Arizona.  The federal government is supposed to defend and protect the people of Arizona; rather, they are ignoring their duty to secure our border.  Enough is enough- it is time for the Administration to be a leader and step up to the plate and defend the people of Arizona.”

Dr. Paul Gosar is serving his first term in Congress as the Representative to Arizona’s First Congressional District.  As a healthcare provider and small business owner, Gosar is focused on bringing jobs back to the district, reforming health care, reining in government spending and ensuring that his constituents are involved in the solution process.  Gosar encourages his constituents to share their ideas by contacting him online at www.gosar.house.gov.
