Legislator demanding Melania Trump Immigration Records

She never did give that press conference that was promised!!! LOL LOL

From the story:

BERKELEY — A California state senator is calling on the White House to release documents related to Melania Trump's immigration, as part of a broader objection to President Donald Trump's immigration policies.

State Sen. Nancy Skinner of Berkeley, standing alongside Senate Pro Tem Kevin de Leon and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon in the state Capitol last week, made the call as part of a protest against Trump’s executive order calling for limiting funds to “sanctuary cities.”

An AP investigation last November found Melania Trump lacked proper work visas when she was employed as a model after arriving in the U.S. from her native Slovenia more than two decades ago.

A way to draw attention to issues or make a point. Which this does.

Melania's immigration records are not relevant and this just creates sympathy for her and Trump.

Trump's tax records are and so are his actions. Stay focused.

She's no better than any other immigrant and if others are being asked for their documentation, then so should she be.

The tax returns are definitely important. I want both. One should not exclude the other.
