Today, some Democrats in Congress are planning to bring illegal aliens as guests to the State of the Union. Once again, they are putting illegal aliens above the safety of American citizens.

Isidro Arcenio Alvarado, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, convicted for naturalization fraud in the Eastern District of North Carolina.
