President Trump tweeted Monday morning he wants Congress to pass a deal combining gun control and immigration reform after two mass shootings over the weekend.

"We cannot let those killed in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, die in vain," Trump tweeted. "Likewise for those so seriously wounded. We can never forget them, and those many who came before them. Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform. We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!"

Senators Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) and Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.), who have cosponsored legislation to expand background checks to cover sales between private parties on the used market, said Trump reached out to express his desire to work with them on the issue.
