Anti-immigration decree: Melania Trump reportedly deported from the United States
The first lady, who allegedly worked illegally 20 years ago, would have been deported if her husband's anti-immigration measures had been in place.
Twenty years ago, Melania Trump would have been on the front line to be deported from the United States. If the anti-immigration decree of her husband Donald Trump, the new American president, had been in effect in 1996, at a time when the future first lady was practicing her profession as a model, she would have been the subject of a procedure of expulsion for fraudulent work. This is what reveals the British daily The Independent, which relays an investigation by the Associated Press agency.
Melania Knauss would have indeed received 20,000 dollars, in seven weeks, for her modeling activity when she only had a tourist visa. This document is not sufficient to engage in gainful employment in the United States. And according to Donald Trump's new immigration rules, illegal aliens who have allegedly committed fraud are at the top of the list to be deported. After these first payments, Melania Trump would however have regularized her situation and obtained a visa to work legally on American soil.
A priority deportation procedure
On the site of the American version of Slate, several immigration specialists studied the file. And according to Cheryl David, Melania Trump "clearly broke the law, and if it had happened on the Immigration Service's desk, she would certainly have been at the heart of a deportation process." The future first lady would even have been "a priority", according to Hasan Shafiqullah, a lawyer also specializing in immigration issues.
Donald Trump's anti-immigration decree, which notably prevented access to the United States for nationals of seven countries considered dangerous, is at the heart of a legal battle between a federal judge, who suspended the text, and the new one. head of state.
