WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday night called for bipartisanship over an immigration overhaul after a year of partisan battles.

Delivering his maiden State of the Union address, Trump said that his administration had met with both Democrats and Republicans to craft a bipartisan approach to immigration reform, adding that both chambers of Congress will vote on a package over the next few weeks.

His remarks came amid tough negations between Democrats and Republicans over the fate of so-called Dreamers, recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program that shields them from deportation but was terminated by Trump last year.

An impasse between bipartisan lawmakers over this issue led to a government shutdown earlier this month and could trigger another in the coming weeks if their divide remains unresolved.

"It is time to reform these outdated immigration rules, and finally bring our immigration system into the 21st century," Trump said in his remarks. "So let us come together, set politics aside, and finally get the job done."
