Congressional Progressive Caucus Reacts To AZ Immigration Law
http://www.digtriad.com/news/elections/article.aspx?storyid=141249&catid=117

Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus are calling for the Senate to start working on comprehensive immigration reform. While some members of Congress have been trying to get lawmakers to discuss the issue, the passage of a controversial law in Arizona has moved it more into the public eye.

California Representative Michael Honda, who spent time in internment camps as a child, calls the Arizona law unconstitutional.

Congressman Raul Grijalva, who heads the CPC, has gone so far as to call for a boycott of his home state. He believes ignoring the issue any longer means more states will follow Arizona's example.

And Jared Polis, a Colorado Democrat, says Americans are frustrated over the inaction of lawmakers.
