The parents of first lady Melania Trump have become legal permanent residents of the United States and are close to obtaining their citizenship, according to people familiar with their status, but their attorney declined to say how or when the couple gained their green cards.

Immigration experts said Viktor and Amalija Knavs very likely relied on a family reunification process that President Trump has derided as “chain migration” and proposed ending in such cases.

The Knavses, formerly of Slovenia, are living in the country on green cards, according to Michael Wildes, a New York-based immigration attorney who represents the first lady and her family.

Hey, Washington Post,

WHEN are you going to investigate Obama’s legal status?

It makes me think of chain migration, yes, but the waiting line from Slovenia may not be as long as elsewhere.

She allegedly has a half brother though that she never had a relationship with. I'll just be blunt about it. It is possible that there are questions about his paternity.

If true, I think it is sad. There are lots of people out there like that. Like my ex, never had a relationship with his half-brother. Life goes on. It doesn't seem to bother anyone now.

I heard on the radio, and it may be a dirty rumor, but Fidel Castro's son who committed suicide left a note mentioning his half-brother the Prime Minister of CAnada. As above, that could be cleared up rather easily.

It doesn't seem to bother the media about Obama's dysfunctional family, much anyway. Various aspects of it have been mentioned from time to time.

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

That's quite a sacrifice.

It's highly likely that Melania's parents came here legally -- and, then entered the citizenship process.

The DACA people were Criminal Invaders, and, mostly, exhibit little interest in assimilation -- much less Citizenship.

What point would there be in punishing the Knavs -- other than kissing the @$$3$ of the Wetback Lovers?

(Makes about as much sense as punishing law-abiding gun owners when some illegal MS-13 punks shoot someone...)

There isn’t one solid fact in that.

Why not?

Why?

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

Under the Grassley plan, which Trump endorsed, family-based immigration would be limited to spouses and minor children. All other immigration would be merit-based.

the Washington compost manages to trash first lady Melania Trumps parents and the children of the Dead Reverend Billy Graham all in the same day what a wonderful group of schlubs they are!

Did several additional relatives also move here too? That seems doubtful.

I am reasonably certain that Meliana Trump’s parents came here legally and are not being a burden to the American taxpayer

"The left never complained about Obama’s numerous aunts and uncles."

Who didn't even have legal status to be here.

Trump’s plan would limit chain migration to parents and minor children, so Melania’s parents would be admitted under his plan. What is the issue?

The issue is Trump said spouses and minor children,not parents.
