Rep. Jasmine Crockett Questions How Melania Trump Got an 'Einstein' Visa: 'The Math Ain't Mathing'

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 we’re talking about integrity, I’m confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren’t talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the president’s family’s 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."

I'm a woman, by the way. I normally don't like disrespecting other women, but I'm fighting for my life here, as well as the lives for younger women who haven't realized what they're losing (I remember the early days, before legal abortion, I'm so old).
