California State Senator Nancy Skinner of Berkeleyone of the many legislators who objects to President Trumps targeted travel banhas called for the release of Melania Trumps immigration papers. This demand is tied to a more general protest against the executive order so toxic to the welfare of thousands of immigrants.
According to Politico, Skinner, together with Senate Pro Tem Kevin de Leon and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, insist that the White House provide this transparency in response to Trumps threat that sanctuary cities will receive restricted funding.
As it happens, Melania Trumps own immigration history is obscure and dubious in legality. Last November, investigators learned that she did not possess the appropriate work visas when she left Slovenia to model in the U.S. over two decades ago.

Last August, Trump assured the public that his wife would hold a press conference to address the details of her immigration indeed, that she would do so before the election. That, of course, never happened. And with the lives of so many immigrants residing in California thrown into jeopardy, Skinner condemns the paucity of Trumps response regarding the First Ladys immigration status.

Now, if Trump EMPLOYED an immigrant without a work visa, we might have him.

(22,037 posts)Unfortunately, California State Senator Nancy Skinner probably doesn't have legal standing for compelling the release of Mrs. Trump's immigration records.
If only one of our US Congressmen or Senators had the guts to make such a demand. They would probably have legal standing. So far, however, no one is calling out any of the president's illegal and unconstitutional activities.

(779 posts)Will anyone have the guts to ask for an inquiry into the botched raid in Yemen where it
is said everything went wrong, and a child and an American seal troop were killed with many other
women and a couple of the enemy. I hear a plane was destroyed, Trump apparently wanted to be seen as a tough guy and rushed it without allowing preparation time. The enemy are circulating
pictures of the 8 year old girl when alive, and when dead, they are recruiting with the pics.
I think there is more to this than meets the eye. (worse than Benghazi)
