AP: Trump's wife modeled in US prior to getting work visa

WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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.

1. Ya know, I can't help feel sorry for her. He's forced her to make appearances, speeches,

and interviews that I'm sure she didn't enjoy, but she did it for the CON! I feel safe in saying he doesn't appreciate her except as a trophy on his arm when HE wants her there.

2. It appears to be ok when Trump gains, like the undocumented workers he hired

Because It was lower wages, this the same person who says he is going to make Americab great, I ask great at ???????.

Second story on how she came to the USA and how she got her citizenship. At first she said she has only married once and it was to Trumo, then information floated there was another marriage, probably to get her citizenship.

4. Trump's wife modeled in US prior to getting work visa AND Trump shot man on 5th Ave.

Trump cult still says that's ok.

5. I think he planted the story

This is his plan to dump Melania without having to pay alimony.

6. The modelling issue is probably a dead end

If she had a B-1 visa and was contracted through a European agency she is probably fine, however I am assuming she actually obtained an H-1B3, which basically just requires convincing immigration you aren't a prostitute.
