Trump once again defies predicted immigration flip-flop

President Trump once again defied predictions that he was going to soften his position on immigration, this time during his first address to Congress on Tuesday night.

In the hours before the speech, it was reported that Trump told meeting attendees it was time for “compromise on both sides” on the issue. Some even speculated that something like the Gang of Eight, a bipartisan measure from 2013 that contained a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, might be on the table.
