California state senator Nancy Skinner (D-CA) is asking for the Trump administration to clear up, once and for all, the haze surrounding first lady Melania Trump’s immigration status.
"No one in the Trump operation has released any of the documentation to indicate what was the circumstance, or whether she had full legal status,'' Skinner told POLITICO. "We only know they had a lawyer look at whatever papers she chose to give."
Melania Trump, who came to New York City from Slovenia in 1996 to pursue her modeling career, was the subject of an AP investigation last November. The investigation found that she had been paid for 10 modeling jobs in the U.S. before she had legal permission to work. Her visa allowed her to be in the country and search for employment, but it did not permit paid work at that time.
While some more hypocritical types are poo poohing this move, Sen. Skinner points out that President Trump has some super harsh edicts he’s had his evil overlord Steve Bannon write up for him to sign. Those edicts affect immigrants.
Sen. Skinner's demand comes as part of her protest against Trump's executive order on sanctuary cities. The order blocks all "federal grants, except as deemed necessary for law enforcement" to sanctuary cities.
We don’t need to see a birth certificate Mr. President, we just need to see the papers.
