Alan K. Simpson, the three-term Republican US senator from Wyoming who worked with Democrats to overhaul federal immigration law in 1986 and lead a deficit-reduction commission in 2010, has died. He was 93.
He died on Friday in Cody, Wyoming, after struggling to recover from a broken hip he suffered in December, according to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, where he was a board member and former chairman.
