He's going to be focused on all of this, and he's predicted that his remarks will be pretty lengthy, and I think we can guess that he will be accurate in his assessment.

Yeah, so I'm predicting the president is going to be very heavily focused on his handling of the immigration crisis.

As we know, John and Georgia, we haven't seen illegals coming across our border in many months now.

What we've seen is many, many deportations.

Obviously, this has led to what some would call a crisis in Minneapolis, Minnesota, prompting Tom Homan to head out there and deal with the mess.

But he has, in fact, dealt with this very adeptly, and Trump officials are very happy with him.

And on Monday morning at the White House, the president hosted a number of angel families.

Not only do these families have these tragic stories to share highlighting the dangers of illegal immigration, but they also are strong supporters of the president and his agenda.

Laura Wilkerson, for example, she shared the story of her son's traumatic murder in 2010 at the hands of an illegal immigrant and how the president treated her in the wake of that murder.

Here's a little bit of what she had to say.

Members of the president's comms team were very quick to point out the media outlets that weren't covering this event.

They were very strongly criticizing CNN, for example.

And we can guess that tonight during the State of the Union coverage, they'll be very happy that the president will have the attention of pretty much every network in the country, if not the world, to talk about these issues as well.

Yes, so a number of House and Senate Democrats plan to skip the State of the Union and host their own program on the National Mall.

They're calling it the People's State of the Union.

It's hosted by two liberal groups, MoveOn, Civic Action, and the far-left media group Midas Touch.

And the program itself will actually be hosted by Joy Reid and another liberal TV commentator, Katie Fang.

But we do know that there's other Democrats that do want to be in the room.

One of those Democrats is Ilhan Omar.

So she's bringing two guests to the State of the Union.
