[Costello:] Good morning. I'm Carol Costello. Thank you so much for being with me. Let's take a look the top stories this morning. In just about 30 minutes past the hour. Senate negotiators are expected to announce the deal today on an immigration reform bill. That bill would increase border security. As CNN first reported, the plan would then double the number of patrol officers from the current level of 21,000 and it would also include 700 miles of fencing. Fans from his home state of New Jersey and elsewhere are mourning the loss of James Gandolfini.
