Related: About this forumLet's get the news networks to cover Melinia's illegal immigration
First thanks to RandySF for posting the original OP on the AP story.
Now that it is out lets get the major TV networks to cover the story. I sent the following message to CNN on their feedback page. If networks like CNN and MSNBC (FOX will never cover this) get enough request they will be more likely to publicize the story which could hurt Trump because he his made fighting illegal immigration the foundation of his campaign and it turns out his wife is an illegal immigrate. (Trump's deplorables probably won't care because she is pretty and not brown.)
This is the message I sent CNN on their feedback page:
This is a story that you need to cover:
Donald Trump made his fight against illegal immigration the hallmark of his campaign and now we learn decisively that his wife illegally lied to immigration officials when she applied to enter the United States on a visitors visa. AP has uncovered solid evidence that Melania Trump entered the United States illegally because now have proof that she was paid for 10 modeling jobs before she applied for and received a work via. Technically the US Government could revoke her citizenship and throw here out of the country.
Is this the worst crime in the world - no. Will Melania be thrown out of the country - probably not. But it is certainly more than ironic and totally undercuts Trump's message on illegal immigration because his own wife was an illegal immigrate.
Here is the link to the AP article: https://apnews.com/37dc7aef0ce44077930b7436be7bfd0d
I am waiting to see if your Network has the guts enough to publicize this story. If you can give days of coverage to a revelation more emails might have been found, you should certainly because there is proof that the spouse of a Presidential candidate committed a federal crime.

(4,167 posts)I Don't think it is a good idea and may look like a desperate move by the Clinton campaign. This doesn't move the needle and could backfire.

(3,635 posts)Trump has staked out a far-right nativist stance on immigration, where even the American born children (so-called "anchor babies) of those (PoC) immigrants who came here without perfectly following the rules, would be heartlessly deported (gestapo deportation squad).
This hypocrisy must be called out by the MSM.
Melania must not be spared simply because she is white and rich.
"We have a country or we don't" - Donald J. Trump
And it won't backfire with women voters, imo, because most American women don't like trophy wife Euro-models such as Melania, who is a fascist enabler.

(5,648 posts)I say you are dead wrong! Trump's wife is an illegal immigrate - period! And he undoubtedly knew it. Hypocrisy!!! If Trump is consistent he should insist she should have her American citizenship revoked and she should be tossed from the country. And, if she were tossed, unlike Hispanic illegals, the law is clear - she could not return.
If Trump cares to he can go live with her in Slovakia. Not likely. Malania is getting a little old for the 70 year old. He could easy find a beautiful younger woman to live in his penthouse in Tump Tower.

(115,683 posts)but that many people have already voted; and in any event and Trump's supporters will tolerate anything. There are always exceptions for the awful things he does that would be disastrous for a Democrat. And for that crowd illegal immigration isn't a big deal if the immigrant is an attractive white woman. I don't think this will change many minds.
