Melania Trump used visa opposed by her husband to get her parents' citizenship
Parents had been living in US with green cards
(CNN) - President Donald Trump's in-laws are officially United States citizens, obtaining their citizenship through the sponsorship of their adult daughter, one of the very categories of family visas that the administration has sought to end.
Viktor and Amalija Knavs, the parents of first lady Melania Trump, were granted citizenship Thursday, their immigration attorney, Michael Wildes, announced.
The first lady's office declined to comment.
Viktor and Amalija Knavs, who are from Slovenia, had been living in the United States with green cards and have been frequently spotted in Washington since their son-in-law assumed the presidency.
A source with direct knowledge of Melania Trump's parents and their immigration status told CNN that Melania Trump sponsored her parents for their green cards, a status that allowed them to live and work in the US indefinitely and paved the way for citizenship. That type of family visa is exactly one of the categories that Trump and his allies have tried to repeal, saying they are harmful to the US.
Wildes wouldn't comment on how the Knavs received their green cards or citizenship Thursday, but criticized the Trump administration's immigration policies to CNN.
"I believe strongly in the principles of family reunification, which is a bedrock of immigration policy and law and has brought millions of people happily to our shores," Wildes said.

You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.

Hey melty, let us know when Melania's parents go on any form of public assistance.
Until then, WGARA?
I do think that any older folks that come here, legal or otherwise should be ineligible for medicare/SS unless they've put a certain amount into the system. I suspect this will not be an issue for the parents of a very wealthy woman.
You're having a problem with this 100% legal form of immigration might hold water, were you against all forms of illegal immigration.
And save me the "I'm for sensible immigration reform" bag of shit. You're not. You are for the illegal brown flood of humanity for as long as it takes to get you your desired goal of democrat rule in perpetuity.

Spray is many thing. A serial melter is not one, IMO. You, sir are the poster child for melters ever since TGOF crawled into your dome on election night and started thumping away with his cheetos stained little hands.

Oh really, so "brown" immigrants are more likely to go on public assistance? Go ahead and link us up on that one, tardling. Just face it, you're a fucking hypocrite just like 45.

On another story in the news, Omarosa released a tape of a conversation Kelly had with her where he pushed her out the door for “integrity issues.” Ouch. That Omarosa actually snuck a recording device into the Situation Room completely justifies what Kelly says to her about having no integrity. She is essentially showing off all the silverware she stole while claiming that she’s not a thief. Talk about punching oneself in the balls!

Omarosa has no credibility at all. Never has, though that never kept Trump from bringing her on as the WH token. It would be a mistake to the left to see her as anything more than a self-serving gold digger.

Did I say brown immigrants were more likely to go on assistance?
I did not.
I merely pointed out that they were following existing legal channels to become citizens. And I am fairly certain they won’t be going on the dole anytime soon.
A few more law abiding old folks with plenty of money in their pockets will not harm this country in the least, no matter their melatonin levels.

Immigration lawyer of Melania Trump's parents pushes back against Trump immigration proposal
Washington (CNN)The immigration lawyer representing first lady Melania Trump's parents pushed back against President Donald Trump's hardline stance on a category of family visa that paved the way for his in-laws' citizenship, calling the President's rhetoric "unconscionable."
"It's unconscionable to scare people into believing that," the attorney, Michael Wildes, said Friday in an interview on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" after listening to a replay of Trump calling so-called chain migration "a disaster for this country."
"This whole notion of chain migration actually is a beautiful bedrock of immigration law and policy called family reunification," Wildes said, noting he was speaking about his personal beliefs and not on behalf of the first lady or her family as their lawyer.
"Imagine this, people will work harder and love more, and do more for America knowing that their loved ones, their immediate relatives, their parents, their children ... to say you can bring one relative and not another relative ... I can understand that some of them may be in jeopardy, and you may want to retool an antiquated immigration system. It looks weird to have a lottery system. But chain migration? No. Family reunification."
Melania Trump's parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, were granted US citizenship Thursday, Wildes previously had announced.
"It went well and they are very grateful and appreciative of this wonderful day for their family," he said in a previous statement to CNN.
The Knavses, who are from Slovenia, had been living in the United States with green cards and have been frequently spotted in Washington since their son-in-law assumed the presidency. A source with direct knowledge of Melania Trump's parents and their immigration status previously told CNN that she had sponsored her parents for their green cards, a status that allowed them to live and work in the US indefinitely and paved the way for citizenship.
The US allows several ways for citizens and legal permanent residents to sponsor family members to come to the US permanently, including categories for parents, adult siblings and adult children, married and unmarried. Trump and his congressional allies have sought to limit sponsorship to spouses and minor children. The President has also advocated a "merit-based" immigration system, but has not proposed any method of admitting immigrants to the US to replace those categories.

And then (of course), there's the inevitable Screwy/Goobs reacharound...
And so it continues. It's like you're proud of your homo-fixation.
