AP confirms Melania modeled in US without work visa

Posted by | November 4, 2016 22:27 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Uh-oh! the news has broken late on the Friday before the election. Better call ICE – oh, wait, too late:

Melania Trump was paid for 10 modeling jobs in the United States worth $20,056 that occurred in the seven weeks before she had legal permission to work in the country, according to detailed accounting ledgers, contracts and related documents from 20 years ago provided to The Associated Press.

The details of Mrs. Trump’s early paid modeling work in the U.S. emerged in the final days of a bitter presidential campaign in which her husband, Donald Trump, has taken a hard line on immigration laws and those who violate them. Trump has proposed broader use of the government’s E-verify system allowing employers to check whether job applicants are authorized to work. He has noted that federal law prohibits illegally paying immigrants.

Mrs. Trump, who received a green card in March 2001 and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, has always maintained that she arrived in the country legally and never violated the terms of her immigration status. During the presidential campaign, she has cited her story to defend her husband’s hard line on immigration.

The wife of the GOP presidential nominee, who sometimes worked as a model under just her first name, has said through an attorney that she first came to the U.S. from Slovenia on Aug. 27, 1996, on a B1/B2 visitor visa and then obtained an H-1B work visa on Oct. 18, 1996.

The documents obtained by the AP show she was paid for 10 modeling assignments between Sept. 10 and Oct. 15, during a time when her visa allowed her generally to be in the U.S. and look for work but not perform paid work in the country. The documents examined by the AP indicate that the modeling assignments would have been outside the bounds of her visa.

It is highly unlikely that the discovery will affect the citizenship status of Mrs. Trump.

    Oh, surely this a deal-breaker…
    unless one discounts the cognitive dissonance amongst the faithful…

    • dave-dr-gonzo November 4th, 2016 at 22:45

      I will bet Melania paid more in personal taxes during the period that she was an illeg… er, foreign national not authorised to work in the US – than her now-hubby did at the time.

      She is not immune, by the way, from legal sanctions according to two experts speaking with Lawrence O’Donnell.

        Like that matters with “patriots”….
        (Be interesting to see how the ‘liberal’ media handles this…)

    Laws?
    We don ‘need no steenking laws!
    (with apologies to Trinidad Silva…)

    But “that’s” different. She’s white, beautiful, and naked.

    • whatthe46 November 5th, 2016 at 01:18

      beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i have a hard time looking someone in the face when their eyes looks like slits in the face and are nearer to each ear. that’s not beauty, that’s freaky.

    Illegal alien Melania Trump was stealing jobs from Americans girls…
    And Donald Trump not only hired his illegal alien employee, but he married her, possibly in violation of U.S. immigration laws…(or something like that)

  6. crc3 November 5th, 2016 at 00:54

    DEPORT HER NOW!!

  7. whatthe46 November 5th, 2016 at 01:15

    he hates immigrants but married one, she hates bullies but married one. can’t make this up.

  8. robert November 5th, 2016 at 01:22

    Ten modeling jobs and only made 20 grand

    Trump’s wife might be an advocate for slave labor in that side of the business

  9. The Original Just Me November 5th, 2016 at 03:25

    Donald Trump is the most rotten, worthless , piece of Garbage ever to run for the Presidents Office, but it makes No difference to His So Callee Supporters. They have an agenda and IT has nothing to do with Trump.

    • Broken_Sky November 5th, 2016 at 07:49

      I don’t think “Callee” is a word. Do you?

      • The Original Just Me November 5th, 2016 at 08:53

        Old Fat Finger Syndrome. Try “Called”.

      • dave-dr-gonzo November 5th, 2016 at 11:25

        Unless it’s a reference to “Kali,” the Hindu goddess of death.

  10. Willys41 November 5th, 2016 at 06:30

    Frankly, I’m shocked and astonished that no one has revealed Trump as having a girlfriend or mistress or both.

    Maybe we should stay tuned?

    • The Original Just Me November 5th, 2016 at 08:52

      He Grabs So many Young Girls that Even He doesn’t Keep count. At least HE seems to be able to afford the amount of Viagra that it would take to keep UP with them. But then again, maybe it is His Charity Foundation that pays His Viagra Bill.

    This article is a paragon of the picayune. Evidently Alan has no interest in doing something constructive or meaningful. What an extremely pathetic, little man is Alan Colmes.

    • The Original Just Me November 5th, 2016 at 08:47

      Alan seems to have a Bunch more followers than Pathetic Little Handed YOU.

      • Broken_Sky November 5th, 2016 at 09:24

        The operant word is “seems”. Jim Jones had many followers too. Enjoy your Kool-Aid.

  12. The Original Just Me November 5th, 2016 at 08:46

    Right after the Elections are over, Trump will find a New YOUNG Mrs. Trump. Some one who is another, unsuspecting Illegal Immigrant that He can Marry so she will be an “AMERICAN”.

  13. William November 5th, 2016 at 09:03

    I say we give her a pass…if she’ll just say “must get moose and squirrel” one time. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/129df3ea3316a6a3ebee5128d83a4f48dc71b4332dc4f0cac80d49a34a203482.jpg

    Bill Clinton is luxuriating on Pedophile Island in the Virgin Isles and your worry is that a supermodel became an American citizen? She is productive enough to pay any fines accrued. Bill? Well he comfortably awaits his inevitable prosecution and incarceration.

    • whatthe46 November 5th, 2016 at 10:01

      what a weak ass post.

      • Broken_Sky November 5th, 2016 at 10:03

        Unintelligent response.

      • dave-dr-gonzo November 5th, 2016 at 11:01

        Accurate assessment.Its insinuations have it on the admin radar, BTW. The fascist rules (declare a persona a criminal, pick a crime, insinuate guilt). don’t play well in the real America.

        • Hirightnow November 5th, 2016 at 11:02

          Shot down,in fact.

    • dave-dr-gonzo November 5th, 2016 at 10:55

      Actually, under any reading of the law, she could be deported. Period.

      I don’t see any comments by you pointing out that Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump both “luxuriated on Pedophile Island in the Virgin Isles.” Double standard much, Skippy?

    • Hirightnow November 5th, 2016 at 10:59

      No. I’m sorry…this is simply too much troll.
      You’re uninvited.

      • Buford2k11 November 5th, 2016 at 11:11

        the russian trolls are going full out for Trump…they are everywhere, and they are very easy to pick out…I say, FUCK YOU RUSSIAN TROLLS..

        • oldfart November 5th, 2016 at 11:34

          DA !, Ебать Русский троллей !
          (Fu*k Russian trolls)

      • oldfart November 5th, 2016 at 11:13

        Прощай товарищ !
        Goodbye comrade.

      • ohpaleasegivemeabreak November 5th, 2016 at 11:24

        And it was so much fun reading the comments made about his/her comment.

        One can tell with remarkable accuracy (IMO) what the blocked one has been saying.

        • Hirightnow November 5th, 2016 at 11:27

          I didn’t delete the comments…at least I don’t think that I did…

      • William November 5th, 2016 at 13:29

        I hope you can live with yourself. Russian troll is surely gulag bound for failing to infiltrate imperialist American blog.

      • StoneyCurtisll November 7th, 2016 at 16:09

        You have amazing restraint…
        I would have booted him days a go..

    • Jack E Raynbeau November 5th, 2016 at 14:05

      Worried? Who’s worried? It’s just an entertaining story of a person caught lying.

    • Bunya November 7th, 2016 at 15:37

      Wait a minute. Bill Clinton is luxuriating on Pedophile Island? Two questions:
      1) When did the Vatican move to the Virgin Islands?
      2) When did Bill Clinton visit the Vatican?

  15. oldfart November 5th, 2016 at 09:57

    So, wearing shoes while being naked is called “modeling”.

    • Broken_Sky November 5th, 2016 at 10:01

      It would be modeling with, or without, the shoes.

      • oldfart November 5th, 2016 at 10:23

        Such low standards coming from a person of self- proclaimed high caliber.
        Your pick for FLOTUS is obviously American exceptionalism at it’s best.

        • Jack E Raynbeau November 5th, 2016 at 14:10

          The same hypocrites who criticized Michelle for exposing her shoulders.

  16. William November 5th, 2016 at 11:36

    It’s all part of a diabolical plan. Melania was born and raised in a Soviet bloc country. She was secretly raised by the KGB. She was then assigned to make porn movies to attract the attention of a rich American. The Russians then manipulated the American voting system to install this secret agent into the White House. Don’t believe me? Perhaps this secretly obtained Donald/Melania home movie will convince you.
