Melania Trump Broke the Law

There are 3 types of visas that Melania could have used when she first came to this country in 1995. H-1B is meant for highly-skilled workers, usually requiring a college degree for consideration, but is also granted sometimes to models. It permits a three year stay that can be extended up to a total of six years. No periodic return to the home country is required. The B-1 Temporary Business Visitor and the B-2 Tourist Visas are also sometimes used by modeling agencies, but both only are valid for six months. A return to your home country is required, and continual renewal of the visa isn't condoned. Additionally, it is illegal to work under either of these two temporary visas.

Melania has indicated that she came here in 1996 on an H-1B visa. Her website claimed she received a degree in Design from Slovenia University. Problem is, she actually dropped out of college after one semester, did a photo shoot for the January 1996 issue of Max magazine in 1995, and Melania claims that she had to return to Slovenia every few months to renew her visa. Only the short term B-1 and B-2 visas require frequent renewals, and it is expressly illegal to work under either type. It was common practice in the 90's for agencies to use temporary visas for their models, but doing so not only is illegal, it jeopardizes Melania's green card application and even her citizenship, regardless of her current marriage to a citizen.

It is now up to immigration attorneys to figure this out, but it is very clear that the Don stepped into some deep shit, as his own website states:

Megyn Kelly asked about highly-skilled immigration. The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay. I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse and ending outrageous practices such as those that occurred at Disney in Florida when Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements. I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions.

It's interesting that the H1-B program is the one immigration program you'll hear some liberals complain about.

i'm not seeing a violation of the law as much as i'm seeing the incompetency of the system designed to prevent this from happening.

What part of 'it is illegal to work under temporary visas' seems to cloud your vision?

the article doesn't definitively state what visa she was here on, though she claims it was H1-B. the B-1 and B-2 prohibit working, but it's not yet been proven that this is what she was here on. So what I said stands true at this point. incompetency on the part of the agency. now, if it comes to light that she wasn't on the H1-B (if hillary can get away with endangering national security and lying to the feds, you see melania being charged?), you have a case. until then, it's an investigation.
 
Would you rather your daughter to grow up to be like Melania Trump or Michelle Obama?

It is not a question of being charged. It is about a challenge of her citizenship status. Either she illegally worked under a temporary visa, jeopardizing her green card application, and even her current citizenship status, or she took a lot of flights back to Slovenia for nothing. Immigrant models in the 90's made much less than the $50,000/year that their agencies generally were paid. Do you think it is likely that she could afford frequent vacations, when she has expressly stated that she flew back to Slovenia every few months in order to renew her visa?

great, challenge it, but don't be shocked when it comes up that it turns out to be an H1-B and there was only extreme carelessness involved, not gross negligence. oh, and she didn't really know that much about it because it was easier not to.

To be honest, I hope you are right. I like Melania and believe she is a valuable person. I don't like the Don's position on immigration, however, and I find the irony hilarious.

i also find it hilariously ironic that progressives are all about women being able to do what they want in life, like pose nude etc., then trying to make it look like melania is some trashy bimbo unfit for FLOTUS because she posed nude.
