WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Diana DeGette (D-CO) released the following statement regarding immigration rallies being held nationwide.
“The nationwide protests about U.S. immigration policy held today demonstrate the need for Congress to pass a comprehensive reform package. As the only member of the Colorado delegation to vote against the House bill that makes being or employing an undocumented worker a federal felony, I urge the Congressional leadership to reject overheated rhetoric and work with the White House to forge a comprehensive solution."
