address would he adopted more presidential tone with the world see twitter trump or teleprompter trump a lot had changed he said since he took office a new type of optimism was already sweeping across our land each day since we have gone forward with a clear vision and a righteous mission to make america great again for all americans. he praised his own administration's achievements more than two million new jobs rising wages reductions in red tape on employment claims at a forty five year low and the stock market smashing records. this in fact is our new american moment there has never been a better time to start living the american dream and together we can achieve absolutely anything. democrats did not share this optimism at

a trade school representative joseph kennedy the third record of this official response. we see an economy that makes stocks soar investor portfolios bold and corporate profits climb but fails to give workers their fair share of the reward a government. that struggles to keep itself open and this nagging sinking feeling no matter what your political beliefs. this is not right this is not who we are protesters marched on the streets of washington many worried by trump's hard line stance on immigration while young republicans at a washington bar were enthusiastic. while these places on the stand a line to try and go to parties a lot of bipartisanship their critics and fans agreed that trump succeeded in staying largely on message and he ended on a high note as long as we have confidence in our values faith in our citizens

and trust in our god we will never fail. our families will thrive. our people will prosper and our nation will forever be safe and strong and proud and mighty and free thank you and god bless america goodnight. another landmark on an extraordinary white house journey. and let's go to washington a poll in our correspondent carlina. carli you've reported numerous times on the immigration debate in the u.s. especially the generation of immigrants who came to the u.s. as children known as dreamers last night trump said that he wanted to work with both parties to give dreamers a path to citizenship his offer did not go well go down well with everyone take

a listen. under our plan we focus on the immediate family by limiting sponsorships to spouses and minor children my duty and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber is to defend americans to protect their safety their families their communities and their right to the american dream because americans are dreamers too. really do we know that the disagreement over the future of these dreamers is already led to one government shutdown and it could lead to another one in two weeks' time hansa progress been made. hello grant well not really because the whole trump underlined again his proposal for offering the citizenship to the eight million undocumented migrants but only in

exchange to the financing of his u.s. mexican border while also under the condition of ending the green card lottery and limiting family reunification for the ones who already have a green card for the united states he calls it the migration chain and this is a very important topic the immigration plan he proposed yesterday because as he already mentioned the next set line for the shutdown is see eighth of february it's not even not even two weeks the immigration policy is probably the most important parking change that we're gonna see and we're going to hear during the next week and experts are commending here that some democrats might accept a partial financing also wall which could add and i've been a scandal among the democrats since they have always sure they are not going to accept the wall under any circumstances remember chuck schumer the leader of the democrats in the senate said a week ago during his speech in the senate that he would consider to discuss a border wall as part of a deal and he did during his meeting with but apparently this wasn't enough

compromise for the president because after this meeting the white house release a proposal with the problems i already mentioned what about the statement last night by the u.s. president what he said because americans are dreamers too what the me. well brant this was again a message to his base of course you can see very positive reactions on this comment on this statement of donald trump because here he say or again directly to america first america can skirt american citizens first but in a way it's a bit contradictory and confusing as to because dreamers say exactly that they do feel like americans they grew up here they speak the language and they went to school to university or work here so they told me they will probably. change the slogan and say well yes americans are dreamers but dreamers are american students
