Trump speech: 5 things to listen for that could impact the Miami Valley

5 ways the Miami Valley could be impacted by Trump’s speech to Congress tonight:

Defense spending: Trump's budget, due to be unveiled later this year, could be good news for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, though the details are yet to come. Trump has said his budget will include a $54 billion boost to the Defense Department. As Michael Gessel. Dayton Development Coalition Vice President of federal programs, says, "Increasing the defense budget is good news for Wright-Patterson."

Cuts elsewhere: Trump has said he plans to slash an equal amount of spending on other programs, which could mean massive cuts to the budgets for education, environmental protection, science research and poverty programs. There is plenty of skepticism over whether Trump can get his plans through Congress, however. Bill Hoagland, a longtime Republican budget aide, told the New York Times Monday, "I don't know how you take $54 billion out without wholesale taking out whole departments."

Health care: Ohio Gov. John Kasich met with Trump Friday, and members of his administration Saturday pitching a plan to continue funding the Medicaid expansion as part of any health care overhaul. After a meeting that included U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, Kasich said in a video posted on his Facebook page Saturday that he was "expressing my concerns and some of the ideas I think (that) can allow us to reform the health care system, save some money, but yet make certain that people who need coverage that they're going to be able to receive the coverage that they need." A lot is riding on what Trump has to say about expanded Medicaid, which covers more than 700,000 Ohioans, because Republicans in Congress are expected to try to dramatically reduce spending on Medicaid.

Infrastructure spending: A 2015 Dayton Daily News investigation found 30 Montgomery County bridges had alarming structural flaws. The American Road & Transportation Builders Association put the bridge repair backlog nationally at $106 billion, representing 1,525 miles of bridges. Trump campaigned on creating jobs and repairing the country's infrastructure that was "going to hell." But few details have emerged from the White House on projects or funding. "We're going to start spending on infrastructure big. It's not like we have a choice," Trump told the governors Monday.

Last month, Senate Democrats put forward a $1 trillion transportation and other infrastructure plan, challenging Trump to join thme. The infrastructure plan Trump pitched during the election is predicated on a never-tried, tax-credit financing system pushed by Wilbur Ross, who was confirmed Monday as commerce secretary.

Immigration: In an early blow to the Trump administration, a federal court rejected an executive order that triggered chaos at airports around the world as travelers from seven majority Muslim countries were detained when the order rapidly went into effect. Demonstrations erupted at airports and in cities around the country including Dayton and Springfield. The travel ban was halted in a federal court but the administration is said to be drafting a replacement.

Last week, Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly signed orders giving federal authorities broad new powers to detain and deport people living in the United States illegally. The language includes anyone convicted, arrested or suspected of a crime -- even those with minor traffic violations will be a priority. The Dayton Police Department rescinded a policy that in general prohibited officers from contacting federal immigration authorities in cases involving misdemeanor violations and felony-level property crimes.

In Columbus, State Treasurer Josh Mandel, a Republican who is running again for U.S. Senate, and state Rep. Candice Keller, R-Middletown, announced a bill to hold elected city officials civilly and criminally liable if undocumented immigrants in sanctuary cities injure or kill someone.

Stepped up deportations could greatly impact the Butler County Jail, which as a special contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
