Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus sharply criticized the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down several sections of Arizona’s illegal immigration crackdown in a statement Monday.

“Once again we are reminded that President Obama has failed to keep his promise on immigration reform,” said Priebus. “In the absence of presidential leadership, states have acted on their own to serve their people and enforce the law, but the issue cannot fully be resolved with a president unwilling to keep his promises. This decision makes that job even more difficult, and it leaves Americans waiting for a plan the president promised to deliver years ago.”
