Trump calls for 'marrying' background checks and immigration reform

President Trump urged Republicans and Democrats in Congress to pass legislation which included background checks and immigration reform after a weekend that had two mass shootings.

“We cannot let those killed in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, die in vain. Likewise for those so seriously wounded. We can never forget them, and those many who came before them,” Trump said Monday on Twitter. “Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform. We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!”
