PHOENIX — Arizona lawmakers reacted along party lines to President Donald Trump's announcement Thursday of his plan to overhaul the country's immigration system.
The effort focuses on beefing up border security and rethinking the nation's green card system so that it would favor people with high-level skills, degrees and job offers instead of relatives of those already in the country.
An Arizona congressman plans to introduce a bill Wednesday that would end a tax deduction for abortions.

The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Wednesday after President Trump invoked executive privilege to reject Chairman Jerrold Nadler's (D-NY) demands to see the full unredacted Robert Mueller report. Democrats on the committee are pursuing contempt charges against Barr for refusing their demands. At the hearing, Republican Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ) said he "can't wait" to see the look on the judge's face when his Democratic colleagues provide the following facts:
Some House Democrats openly talked Wednesday about impeaching President Donald Trump because he did something after the special counsel's Russia investigation that he never did during the probe—invoke executive privilege.
The House Judiciary Committee later voted 24-16 along party lines to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for not making the entire report from special counsel Robert Mueller available to lawmakers.
The full House needs to vote for a contempt citation to go forward.
