Melania Trump’s parents are legal permanent residents, raising questions about whether they...

Well, if we have to boot them in order to deport 20 million illegal aliens, that’s something I’m willing to do.

[Skywise]

And how many DACA parents actually tried to gain citizenship?

[Kozy]

Can we have a little common sense here. They are natives of Slovenia and are at risk as the parents of the First Lady. For their safety you get them out of Slovenia. Common sense is a very rare element in the world.

[goldstategop]

They came here legally and played by the rules.

Nothing gets my day off to a great start than to see liberals get upset.

[TexasGator]

Why boot them out?

[TexasGator]

What does this have to do with DACA?

[Socon-Econ]

Also, an immigrant’s parents can be admitted without admitting a whole chain.

They could have applied on their own merit. Non story.

First, let's look into Obummer's REAL status, and have him explain how he ended up with some old dead guys' Social Security number, plus a few more.

Only then should Melania's parents be inconvenienced.

[DoughtyOne]

The MSN and the WP, another day, another attempt to look more stupid than the day before.

[posterchild]

Why would they be safer here? Do they get Secret Service protection?

[hoosiermama]

Iirc they got their green cards about the time Barron was born. Malania and POTUS often rely on them to stay With Barron as they do not employ a Nanny. BArron learned their language and often acted as a translator when he was very young and they went about NYC ! He is extremely close to his only grandparents.

They could have applied on their own merit. Non story.

Because 70 year old retired chauffeurs and factory workers get green cards every day "on their own merit"?

[Olog-hai]

Immigration experts said Viktor and Amalija Knavs very likely relied on a family reunification process that President Trump has derided as “chain migration” …

Unnamed “immigration experts” say it is “very likely”. IOW, more hearsay and fearmongering. Oh, the weasel words.

[Kozy]

Yes on Secret Service just like Trump’s first two wives. I would be worried if they got FBI protection

[libertylover]

Admitting parents of a legal immigrant or children of a legal immigrant is one thing, admitting 3rd cousins twice removed is something else.

[Not A Snowbird]

Why not?

Besides, the proposed chain migration change would still allow parents. Again, non story.

[blueplum]

oh for crying out loud. It’s the President’s mother and father in law and special circumstances apply for security reasons. The left never complained about Obama’s numerous aunts and uncles.

[skimbell]

"...according to people familiar with their status..."

That's enough for me, I'm out.
