President urges new immigration laws, cites border security and proposes 'Delilah' ban on commercial licenses for undocumented residents

The president told Congress that the nation's border was secured and urged lawmakers to pass several immigration measures he described as necessary to protect Americans. "Today, our border is secure," he said, repeating the assertion and tying it to a broader public-safety narrative.

In a segment invoking a crash survivor, the president proposed what he called the "Delilah law," saying Congress should bar states from granting commercial driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants after recounting the June 2024 crash that seriously injured Delilah Colvin. He framed the measure as a public-safety response and asked Congress to act.

The president also called on lawmakers to approve the "Save America Act," which he described as a package requiring voter identification and proof of citizenship for voting and restricting absentee ballots to narrow categories. He said the proposal had strong public support and urged immediate passage.

Throughout the address, the president linked immigration policy to crime, victim stories and enforcement priorities, emphasizing deportation of criminal aliens and stronger penalties for sanctuary-city officials who impede removals. He described a forthcoming "war on fraud" to be led by the vice president and repeated several numerical claims about past migration and crime trends.

Next steps: the measures the president proposed are legislative requests to Congress; the speech indicated the administration will press for passage but did not record any enacted bills or votes during the session.
