Guests the White House invites typically serve to help put a face on policies the president will promote in the nationally televised address. Those invited this year represent Trump's opposition to illegal immigration, his push to halt human trafficking across the U.S.-Mexico border, efforts to stem the deadly opioid addiction epidemic and his economic policies.
White House officials said this year's guests "come from all different walks of life and each (have) an incredible story to tell," adding that they "represent the very best of America."
