President Trump may urge lawmakers to pass a compromise immigration reform bill during his speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, a senior administration official told television network anchors who met with the president.
Trump believes a major immigration bill is necessary but would require "a softening on both sides. There's got to be a coming together," the official said, according to CNN.
Trump envisions a proposal that would allow some undocumented immigrants live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation, but would stop short of offering them a pathway to citizenship.
Such a move would be a departure from the hardline stance on illegal immigration Trump has taken thus far in his presidency.

Another “senior official”.
I will believe what comes out of the Presidents mouth tonight, and not “senior officials”.
Art of the Deal moment?
Please don’t go backwards President Trump. Your tough campaign stands on criminal aliens is one of the main reasons I voted for you. Lots of other folks, too.
“Trump envisions a proposal that would allow some undocumented immigrants live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation, but would stop short of offering them a pathway to citizenship.”
Fake news until shown otherwise.
DO NOT COMPROMISE WITH THE LEFT
THEY NEVER DO
More Fake News from Fake Unnamed Sources.
Oh I doubt he would change the criminal alien. Most of us would be fine with some being allowed to remain but no citizenship. If they want that they have to go home and apply.
Ivanka?
“.....but would stop short of offering them a pathway to citizenship.”

Until some left-wing monnbat judges ORDERS the government to grant them citizenship.
This almost sounds like the moron Jorge W. Bush and his “temporary guest workers.”
I need to add, no public welfare, must have job, no job must leave.
No
Speak for yourself.
Yup.
FR still loves its fake news.
Say x and watch them jump.
Best to reserve comment until after the speech.
Let us not forget Ann Coulter’s book ‘Adios America’, lest we fall prey to the liberal, globalist dogma.
No amnesty.
We tried that approach in 1986 and it resulted in 10 times the number of illegal aliens and a general disregard for all of our laws by foreigners.
No new laws that benefit those breaking the current ones.
Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement is what we need
