Trump proposes US citizenship plan for 1.8 mn undocumented immigrants

US President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday unveiled a sweeping new immigration plan to Congress that offers 1.8 million young unauthorized immigrants known as "Dreamers" a path to citizenship over 10-12 years. Trump's comprehensive plan -- which will be formally presented next week -- includes eliminating the popular "green card lottery" program and would severely restrict family immigration. It would also require Congress to budget $25 billion for a "trust fund" for constructing a wall on the US-Mexico border -- a major plank of Trump's White House campaign.
