Why Melania should be deported. If we're going to deport people who have fought for the US, why not the porn model?

Tony King

This is one of my pet peeves right now, and let me be precise and specific: our current First Lady, Melania Trump, is here illegally. She took over $20,000 worth of payments for work done here in the US while on a the standard tourist visa, the B1/B2, between September 10 and October 15 of 1997. She didn’t receive her H-B1 status (actually allowed to perform paying work) until October 18, 1997. Her B1 visa allowed her to *look* for jobs, but not *perform* any paying work until receiving H-B1 status. She clearly violated the law according to accounting ledgers, a management contract, and other related documents obtained from former employees of Metropolitan International Management (now defunct), who rep’d her on at least 10 modeling assignments.

Visa violations have no statute of limitations. Standard penalty is deportation without possibility of re-entry for 10 years, and even then only after appealing your case to the proper authorities for permission to re-enter. You may not “upgrade” your visa status retroactively if caught red-handed making money in the US on a tourist visa.

Melania flat-out lied during campaigning for her husband, claiming that she was here legally (in support of her husband’s hardline stance on immigration), when all along legal documents filed by both her and her agency reveal that she was, in fact, working and making money here illegally (she actually paid taxes on her ill-gotten income). And in the process, she most likely took paying work away from Americans.

As a consequence, Melania should not have been allowed to become a citizen, as she clearly lied on her citizenship application paperwork, and in the face-to-face interviews required by the INS.

Right now (December 2019) I’m witnessing a lot of arm-waving and shouting from the president’s hardcore base about deporting the DACA kids, because, after all, “the law is the law!” Well, if that’s the case, and the law IS the law and the nation must adhere to the spirit and the letter, then Melania needs to go back to Slovenia and apply to re-enter the country, just like everyone else who violated the terms of their visa. Her current U.S. citizenship status should be declared null and void.

Or do our immigration laws not apply to white Europeans?
