2 Immigration Announcement
In an afternoon address at the White House Rose Garden, President Trump will deliver remarks on "Modernizing Our Immigration System for a Stronger America." The latest effort by the White House stresses the economic benefit of younger, better educated immigrants who already speak English. This is opposed to those who now get green cards, due to family ties or participation in the "diversity visa lottery." It is unlikely the plan will go anywhere with Democrats in control of the House.
3 Alabama abortion bill
Alabama's Republican governor signed the most strict abortion legislation in the nation Wednesday, making performing an abortion a felony in nearly all cases. "To the bill's many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians' deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God," Gov. Kay Ivey said in a statement.
The bill's sponsors want to give conservatives on the US Supreme Court a chance to gut abortion rights nationwide, but Democrats and abortion rights advocates criticized the bill as a slap in the face to women voters.
