Whether or not you support Trump, you have to agree with his wife’s take on immigration. Unless you are a whiny Sanders supporter.
Trump’s wife, Melania, is a native of Slovenia who came to the United States in 1996 to work as a model. If Trump were to win the presidency, she would be the first immigrant since London-born Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams — wife of John Quincy Adams — to become first lady.
The NY Post reports about comments Melania made to MSNBC in an interview that aired yesterday on “Morning Joe”.
The wife of GOP front-runner Donald Trump insisted that her husband has no beef with Mexican-American immigrants — despite calling some “criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc.” over the summer. “No, I don’t feel he insulted the Mexicans,” she said.
“He said illegal immigrants. He didn’t talk about everybody. He talked about illegal immigrants. And after a few weeks — like after a few weeks, like after two weeks — of giving him hard time and bashing him in the media, they turned around and said, ‘Do you know what? He’s right. He’s right what he’s talking about’ and he opened [a] conversation that nobody did.”
Melania added, “I followed the law. I followed the law the way it’s supposed to be. I never thought to stay here without papers. I had [a] visa. I traveled every few months back to the country, to Slovenia, to stamp the visa. I came back. I applied for the green card. I applied for the citizenship later on after many years of [holding a] green card. So I went by [the] system. I went by the law and you should do that. You should not just say, ‘OK, let me just stay here and whatever happens, happens.’”
The 45-year-old beauty, Donald Trump’s third wife, also repeated her husband’s view on Muslim immigrants. Following the San Bernardino massacre in December, Donald Trump called for a blanket halt on Muslims entering the United States.
“Well, what he said is it will be temporary and it’s not for all the Muslims,” Melania Trump said. “We need to screen who’s coming to the country. He wants to protect America. He wants to protect the people of America so we have a country and keep the country safe. That’s very important to him. And what’s going on in the world, it’s very dangerous.”
