WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep Diana DeGette (CO-1) announced she is cosponsoring H.R.15, The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, a comprehensive reform bill that closely mirrors the commonsense, compromise bill passed by the U.S. Senate in June by a vote of 68 to 32. The only difference between the two bills is this Act replaces the Corker-Hoeven border security provisions in the Senate-passed bill with the bipartisan McCaul-Thompson border security bill unanimous approved by the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee.
