As a U.S. Citizen and past holder of a foreign passport how could I not sit up and take notice when the other day I heard Melania was invited to speak at the naturalization ceremony for new U.S. citizens to be held at the National Archives Building . The very same National Archives that finked on her husband for his very un American act of stealing U.S. property and secret documents causing numerous well deserved indictments . To her credit Melania did say some very sweet things in her welcoming of our new citizens prior to ruining it by attempting to explain the “harsh reality’s” she herself faced on her path to citizenship …..
Meanwhile her husband who’s so far been married to two immigrants was busy in N.H. collecting cheers for loudly stirring the shit again with something about immigrants poisoning the blood of our nation . Maybe he’s right, after all his Grandfather was an immigrant who was obviously guilty of that very same crime . It’s interesting how we come to selectively use weasel words like
” We’re only against illegal immigrants … not those who do it right ”
I know a thing or two about the immigration process and visa’s so with that knowledge let’s have a little peek at a couple of the harsh reality’s poor Melania had to endure .
For a start the fact she worked in N.Y. illegally prior to getting her work visa was ignored because she claimed … she didn’t get paid . That being easy to believe she was granted a visa that allowed her to stay that had a couple of caveats . One was to excel at a profession and two was an advanced education . Well call me biased if you must but I really do believe the nation could have used a few more dry wall hangers than another nude model whether she excelled at it or not . The fact that Miss Harsh Reality quit college halfway through her Freshman year was later described on The White House website as a …. pause in her studies . Sixteen years and still going is one hell of a pause …. was this one of those that did it right or was this just a different way of cutting a hole in a 4 Billion Dollar fence with a $32 power tool ?
I know a woman who once held a foreign passport . Since her U.S. naturalization she and her son have spent near 11 years in attempt to get a mere visitors visa for him to come on a family visit from Central America . So far, no dice while the parents of “Melania the anchor baby” were not only welcomed to visit they were granted citizenship lickety split . Looks to me that there are degrees of harsh realities and they are obviously subjective . I wonder now about when the shit has been stirred enough and it comes to violence will we be able to tell the difference between an illegal and one who has done it right . Will we care ?
meanwhile here in Florida none of the 250,000 recent Cuban immigrants have been evicted along with all the other illegal migrants… they seem to have friends too.
