Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett took her latest shot at Donald Trump on Wednesday, June 25, implying that the president's immigration policy is hypocritical, given that his wife, Melania Trump, is an immigrant herself who secured an unusual type of visa for a model after arriving in the States.
Since were talking about integrity, Im confused as to why my Republican colleagues arent talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the presidents familys visas, the Democratic representative said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the visa process.
Melania was born in what is now Slovenia, then Yugoslavia, in 1970. After she was discovered at age 16, ID Models founder and New York businessman Paolo Zampolli sponsored her immigration to the United States. She first worked as a model under an H1-B visa, but it's been widely reported that she later applied for and was granted an EB-1 visa.
The EB-1 is commonly referred to as an "Einstein" visa, because of who it's catered to. Per the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, the visa is intended for immigrants who are "an alien of extraordinary ability, an outstanding professor or researcher, or a certain multinational executive or manager."
