President Donald Trump strayed from his scripted State of the Union address Tuesday evening by calling for immigrants to enter the country legally in “the largest numbers ever,” an about-face from the administration’s crackdown on immigration.

While warning of the dangers illegal immigration poses to the nation, Trump described a “moral duty” to construct an immigration system that protects Americans, noting an obligation to “the millions of immigrants living here today who follow the rules and respected our laws.”


“Legal immigrants enrich our nation and strengthen our society in countless ways,” the president said. “I want people to come into our country in the largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally.”

This marked a deviation from the prepared text of Trump’s speech, which read: “Legal immigrants enrich our nation and strengthen our society in countless ways. I want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally.”
