IMMIGRATION/STATE OF THE UNION: “In recent months, my Administration has met extensively with both Democrats and Republicans to craft a bipartisan approach to immigration reform…
The first pillar of our framework generously offers a path to citizenship for 1.8 million illegal immigrants who were brought here by their parents at a young age — that covers almost three times more people than the previous administration. Under our plan, those who meet education and work requirements, and show good moral character, will be able to become full citizens of the United States.
The second pillar fully secures the border…
The third pillar ends the visa lottery — a program that randomly hands out green cards without any regard for skill, merit, or the safety of our people…
The fourth and final pillar protects the nuclear family by ending chain migration.”
-Donald Trump, “President Donald J. Trump’s State of the Union Address,” whitehouse.gov, Jan. 30, 2018
