Hilarious. Looks like Trumps third wife was likely working illegally in this country for a while, working on a tourist visa.
Looks like all of Trumps outrage on illegal workers is irrelevant if they're hot.

Trumpanzies don't care about immigrants from Europe...
I saw this yesterday, but was too busy to post it.Hilarious. Looks like Trumps third wife was likely working illegally in this country for a while, working on a tourist visa.

But yeah, it's a pretty wild development.
The problem is: We can't access the INS documents without her permission - which obviously never will happen. So all we can do is go by her recorded personal statements, archival images of her removed personal website, and her public work records - which together seem to indicate she was indeed here working illegally.
Now the additional problem is: Her words, recorded or not, are not the same as documented proof in hard paper.
But I think it's interesting that this story has been active for maybe 36 hours, and the Trump campaign has been (unusual for them) silent on the matter. Either they're spooked, or Trump has done the only smart move he has in the last two weeks! :lamo
Argh! You saw right through me!Be honest. You were too busy to post it because it took so long to download the high res Ménage a Trump photos!
I'm not 100% sure how the immigration law works but if you're an employee of a foreign corporation who comes to the US temporarily (90 days or less) and are paid less than $3000 you aren't considered to have been in a trade or business in this country and don't have to claim the money earned as US income. I don't know who Melania was working for when those pictured were taken but if she was an employee of a European company and came here just for the shoot and was paid less than $3k then she didn't violate tax law. My guess is that the tax law lines up with immigration law on this issue but I'm not sure.

This is totally irrelevant. There are so many reasons to oppose Trump and his idiocy. That his wife may have worked illegally in the US at some point isn't one of them. This is just petty election dirt-digging.

True.
It's not like this concept is the centerpiece of his campaign, or anything.
But this is irrelevant to why he's wrong about that. Look, if it turns out that Melania had all the proper Visas would that suddenly change your opinion of Trump's immigration platform? Would you say, "oh, ok I guess Trump may be right about immigration after all.". Of course not. Because whether Melania worked in the US illegally at some point is irrelevant to what makes his stance a bad idea.
This is a non-issue. It's the kind of petty skewering that comes into play from both sides during election time, distracting from more substantive critiques of the candidates and their platforms. We shouldn't be supporting this kind of crap, even when it's targeting the candidate we oppose. IMHO

This is relevant in that its HILARIOUS.
She wasn't an employee. She was booking jobs through a Parisian modeling agency.I'm not 100% sure how the immigration law works but if you're an employee of a foreign corporation who comes to the US temporarily (90 days or less) and are paid less than $3000 you aren't considered to have been in a trade or business in this country and don't have to claim the money earned as US income.

Without any more hard proof than her mere words, you might be right. We saw how Melania claiming she wrote the plagiarized convention speech had little effect, since we knew she was likely lying and the campaign later admitted such. So at this time, it's only her words...or this is tempest in teapot #87...
