WASHINGTON – With the introduction of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity (CIR ASAP) Act of 2009, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), a cosponsor of the legislation, released the following statement:

"These comprehensive immigration reforms are much-needed to fix our broken immigration system," said DeGette.
