Trump lays out 4-part immigration plan during State of the Union address

January 31, 2018 08:42

US President Donald Trump lays out an immigration plan with four pillars:

One: A path to citizenship for 1.8 million illegal immigrants who were brought here by their parents at a young age

Two: Fully secures the border. That means building a wall on the Southern border, and it means hiring more heroes like [Homeland security special agent] CJ Martinez to keep our communities safe.

Three: Ends the visa lottery -- a program that randomly hands out green cards without any regard for skill, merit, or the safety of our people.

Four: Protects the nuclear family by ending chain migration. Under the current broken system, a single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives [audible hisses here from members of Congress?] Under our plan, we focus on the immediate family by limiting sponsorships to spouses and minor children.
