The president also called on Congress to toughen immigration laws. He is preparing to unveil a plan developed by his son-in-law.
By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow May 15 at 1:22 PM President Trump on Wednesday used an annual event that honors slain law enforcement officers to highlight the case of a Northern California police corporal allegedly killed by an undocumented immigrant and to call on Congress to toughen immigration laws.
Trump’s address at the event, which was attended by senior lawmakers from both parties, came as he prepares to unveil an immigration plan developed by his son-and-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner.Congress has struggled to reach a compromise on immigration that would address the 11 million immigrants who are in the United States illegally. Lawmakers have repeatedly failed as the president has embraced a hard-line position.
“People are trying to come into our country because our country’s doing well,” Trump said. “They can’t come in like this killer came in.”
