FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR- 341-10 August 5, 2010 STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON SENATE PASSAGE OF $600 MILLION MEASURE TO SECURE THE U.S. – MEXICAN BORDER “It is encouraging to see Senators from both sides of the aisle – led by Chuck Schumer, Claire McCaskill and John McCain – working together to pass a bill that provides more resources, better technology and more agents to strengthen security at our borders. We hope this bipartisan effort will prove to be a building block for a pragmatic and sensible approach to fixing our nation’s broken immigration system, so that we can create the jobs we need now and keep America economically competitive for decades to come.” MEDIA CONTACT: Stu Loeser/Jason Post (212) 788-2958 |
