President Donald Trump has accomplished much in his first six weeks in office, and he deserves credit for it. But now we need to hear what the president intends to do with Congress, the institution essential to ensuring that Trump’s reforms will endure. This should be a central theme of what he says in prime time Tuesday night in the first speech to the joint session of Congress in his second term.

Nowhere has Trump’s executive agenda been more successful than on immigration. In February 2024, 189,913 illegal immigrants were intercepted attempting to cross the southern border. This February, thanks to Trump’s policies, the number was 8,326, a massive decline to a level not seen in decades. Bravo.
