The Curious Case of Melanija Knavs

... there is one alleged case of illegal immigration the president and his senior staff rarely discuss — though it hangs over his brash rhetoric and policy proposals ...

... then-Melanija Knavs .. at 26 moved to New York City in the mid-1990s to pursue a professional modeling career. It would be two years before she met and began dating businessman Donald Trump. And still unresolved is whether she and her modeling agency properly handled her immigration status during that window.

At issue are 10 modeling jobs in the United States she allegedly was paid for in 1996 before she was granted legal authorization to work in the country, according to a 2016 Associated Press report. The news agency obtained what it described as “detailed accounting ledgers, contracts and related documents from 20 years ago,” which were the basis of a Nov. 5, 2016, article ...

... “the Trump campaign promised a press conference on the issue, and promised to clear up the whole thing,” David Leopold, a Cleveland-based immigration lawyer, told Roll Call last week. “But, of course, that press conference never happened. And they have never cleared it up” ...

Goddamned hypocrites. And I thought she was going to have a presser in 2016 to "explain" her immigration path. I'm still wondering what she did to snag a "genius visa."

my work papers were stapled in my passport. Melania should have to produce her work papers, seeing as she herself demanded to see Obama's bc. If she did work under a tourist visa instead of a work visa that means that she lied to customs and immigration when she applied for her citizenship which would make her citizenship invalid.

The way she came and left America back then it appears to me to be most likely that she did work under a tourist visa which makes her an illegal immigrant.
