President Donald Trump is delivering his first State of the Union address. His address is highlighting a strong economy and call for bipartisan action on immigration. The televised speech before a joint session of Congress comes a year after Trump took office and about a week after a three-day government shutdown spawned by a fight over the federal government budget and how to deal with hundreds of thousands of immigrants who years ago came to the country illegally as children.
Trump is laying out what he calls the four pillars of his immigration proposal:
1) A path to citizenship for for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants
2) Money to build a wall along the United States' southern border
3) An end to the visa lottery and a move toward "merit-based immigration"
4) An end to family-based migration - what Trump calls "chain migration"
There were audible boos when Trump described "chain migration."
