86-year-old Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters recently commented on President Donald Trump’s action on illegal immigrants and said Trump should first look at Melania’s records. “We don’t know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look,” water said at a rally at the weekend in Los Angeles.
“If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania,” Maxine said.
“When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he’s going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America,” she said.
As the video of Waters went viral, Elon Musk took it upon himself to give a reply to Waters and her threat. “At some point, the many crimes of Maxine Waters will catch up to her,” Musk wrote these 14 words reacting to a video of Waters demanding or at least hinting at Melania Trump’s deportation.
When did Melania Trump become a US citizen?
Melania Trump’s US citizenship is not a new controversy. She was born in Slovenia in 1970 and moved to New York in 1996 to extend her modelling career. Melania met Donald Trump at a party in 1998, and they got married in 2005. The First Lady was initially granted U.S. entry on an “Einstein Visa,” also known as an EB-1, which is traditionally reserved for highly acclaimed people in their field.
According to her White House biography, she was granted US citizenship in 2006. Melania’s parents became US citizens in 2018. Contrary to what Waters claimed that it should be probed whether Melania Trump’s parents were documented, they came to the US after Melania.
