In his first speech to the United States Congress, President Donald Trump asked for unity to produce more jobs, protect Americans and improve education. Trump said he would continue to remove undocumented immigrants who commit crimes from the country. But for the first time, the president said he is ready to negotiate a plan that would give legal standing to millions of undocumented immigrants. “I believe that real and positive immigration reform is possible, as long as we focus on the following goals: to improve jobs and wages for Americans, to strengthen our nation’s security, and to restore respect for our laws,” he said. Trump began his speech by talking about bomb threats against Jewish schools and centers, destruction at two Jewish cemeteries and the shooting of two immigrants from India. The attacks “remind us that while we may be a nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its forms,” Trump said. In his first 40 days as president, Trump has been divisive. He has used social media to criticize the news media and U.S. intelligence agencies for reporting information critical of him and his administration. He has also put in place a ban on travel to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority nations. The ban was blocked by the courts and criticized by most Democrats. In his speech, Trump said America cannot accept immigrants from countries where it is difficult to investigate connections to terrorism.
