If the stopping time is finite on the origin, it is finite for any other point, why?

In the context of a simple random walk, a claim that I find on some proofs:

When proving that a stopping time at any point $x$ is finite, it suffices to prove that the stopping time at the origin is finite.

How so ? Is this a consequence of the independence of the sequence of stopping times and the fact that they follow the same probability law ?
