State of the Union Guests Take Spotlight

By WILLIAM FEOLA

As President Trump gets ready to speak to the nation in the annual State of the Union address tomorrow night, the guests who are attending are actually taking the spotlight. Dreamers, people involved with DACA, people involved with guns and others who have publicly announced they refuse to attend are making headlines because they are using this opportunity and platform to take a stance.

 

Various Dems are bringing DREAMers to the State of the Union. Among Trump’s guests are an ICE investigator who fights MS-13 and the four parents of two girls murdered by MS-13.

“The Immigrants,” a photography exhibition at the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York, is a timely and powerful visualization of America’s history of immigration. As members of Congress debate the future of the DACA program and President Trump’s proposed border wall, the exhibition serves as an important reminder that people of every race and religion have immigrated to the US for centuries.
