Where are Melania Trump's immigration papers?
Donald Trump announced Tuesday evening that his wife will hold a news conference "over the next couple of weeks" to address reports that she violated immigration laws when she first came to the U.S. Trump said his wife would prove that "she came in totally legally."The New York Post last week published nude photos of Melania Trump in 1995, quickly raising questions about whether the former model had obtained the appropriate visa to work as a model in the United States. [...]"They said my wife, Melania, might have come in illegally. Can you believe that one?" Donald Trump told his supporters Tuesday. "Let me tell you one thing. She has got it so documented, so she's going to have a little news conference over the next couple of weeks. That's good. I love it. I love it." — www.cnn.com/...
Trump along with his henchmen, Stephen Miller, John Kelly, Jeff Sessions has emboldened cruelty at ICE, allowing the agency to tear apart families and putting millions of immigrant families in fear. Why should ordinary working-class people have to live in fear while Melania Trump and Donald Trump get a pass for possibly breaking the law? Why should power and privilege protect them, once again, from the consequences of their actions?
ICE is actively engaged in tearing apart families by deporting people for minor faults with their immigration paperwork. The ICE director has boasted of “enjoying this work”:
Riding high off two recent widely denounced deportations that ripped apart immigrant families who have called the U.S. home for decades, acting ICE director Thomas Homan boasted at a conference on Wednesday that he has really begun "enjoying" his role in carrying out President Donald Trump's racist mass deportation agenda."This isn't a job I particularly wanted in the beginning," Homan said at a so-called "Border Security Expo" in San Antonio, Texas. "But I'll tell you what, I'm enjoying it." — www.commondreams.org/...
Should there be an investigation of Melania Trump given her conflicting statements on her immigration status? The ICE director has boasted of arresting people on the street or home. Would he “enjoy” conducting a raid at the White House?
In her interview with Anderson Cooper in 2016, Melania Trump talked about her early modeling career. She said she "obeyed the law" and "flew to Slovenia every few months” to stamp her visa. Work visas are issued for multiple years. What Melania is describing is what a lot of people (primarily Europeans) did while working (illegally) on a tourist visa. Was Melania working illegally while on a tourist visa? We know that Trump’s own modeling agency had models work illegally without proper visas. Did Melania Trump also break the law, just like her husband’s business?
These are important questions that the public has an interest in. Since the White House petition site is now back up, I’ve created a petition. Sign it if you care.
This question should be asked of the president and his spokesperson at each and every press conference where they discuss immigration. Given the vile statements Trump has made about immigrants throughout his campaign and presidency, it is shameful that the US media is letting this slide.
If we are to win this immigration debate, we have to win the public argument, and that can only be done by making it personal. We have to highlight the hypocrisy of the Republicans when it comes to immigration.
All the blow-hards talking about how their grandparents and great-grandparents migrated "legally" do not want us to think about how the Jim Crow regime disenfranchised millions of Americans for decades. The violence and oppression used to suppress black/brown votes helped buttress racist immigration laws for decades. Worse, our country has a long history of anti-indigenous settlement policies that allowed several waves of settlers to violently annex Native American lands. This process involved broken treaties, massacres by US forces, and ethnic cleansing, yet we have people talking about how their ancestors settled in the west “legally”. People of Irish, Jewish, Eastern European and Italian descent in particular, should be ashamed of themselves if they support this administration’s vile racism since it wasn't too long ago that it was used to demonize their ancestors when they first arrived here.
Well, would you look at that!pic.twitter.com/J5vjY2b6bs
Immigrants, 1904. Anonymous editorial vitriol. pic.twitter.com/Ci9Tt0AcD5
Oooh! This could be a fun one. twitter.com/amayskimom/sta…
So yeah. About that learning English thing.
This is the mythologizing/selective amnesia I'm talking about.
This particular Polish great-grandfather of his is shown as not speaking English in both 1910 and 1920. He arrived in 1906. pic.twitter.com/wdOaGAcEWa
