The following statement can be attributed to Hector Figueroa, Secretary Treasurer of 32BJ SEIU:
"Denying citizenship to the US born children of undocumented immigrants, as John Kavanagh, a Republican Arizona State Representative is proposing, not only clashes directly with the US Constitution, but would push nearly 12 million undocumented immigrants deeper into the shadows while doing nothing to fix our broken system."
"Once again, extremists within the Republican party are putting politics before solutions to please the anti-immigrant Tea Party, showing that unless Congress and the Administration pass real comprehensive immigration reform Arizona's wildfire is likely to spread elsewhere."
With more than 120,000 members in eight states, 32BJ is the largest property service workers union in the country.
