Letters to the Editor

Trump’s immigration stand a personal hypocrisy

I guess Melania Trump wouldn’t meet Donald’s criteria for immigration to the U.S. She is not highly educated, and she brought nothing to benefit this country, unless you think good looks is a benefit.

In fact, she probably took work from American models in violation of her visitor’s visa.

However, isn’t it great that a mere immigrant hope-to-be model could become first lady of the United States of America?

Most people are unaware that Donald would not even be a citizen of this country if the “chain immigration” he opposes were not in effect, as his mother was able to enter our country because her sister used chain immigration to bring her to America.
