Melania Trump modeled in U.S. prior to getting work visa

By Associated Press

11/04/16 10:14 PM EDT


WASHINGTON — 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.

This is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel.  So the current Mrs. the Donald may or may not have worked a couple of months, 20 years ago, before she was legally entitled to.  First of all this is Politico via the AP so who even knows if it's true.  If they actually  have the ledgers publish them.  Second, at least she was in the country legally, working on getting her green card and it appears they took taxes out so who knows.

Illegal aliens are fine as long as they are models or billionaire's wives.

Bonus points if they are both.

Not to mention, Trump's modeling agency was caught bringing in underage girls illegally for modeling jobs (giving the benefit of the doubt that is all).

If it was a poor Mexican girl coming across to work in the fields, Trump would be called a coyote for this and the girls working in the US illegally would be known as illegal aliens.

Not really. Your boy Donny is against this (at least he says he is) and wants to crack down on the practice. Being married to someone who was here illegally working is hypocrisy.

She was not an illegal alien.  She was here legally.  This article claims she may have worked a couple of months before getting her green card.  They have produced zero evidence of it, just their claims.

If it is indeed true, the people most responsible are the owners of the modelling agency who should have known whether she had her green card or not.

Turns out you're not very bright.  He's not my "boy Donny".  He was not married to someone who was here illegally working.  He didn't even know her at the time.  So he's not supposed to marry her because she may or may not have worked a couple of months before getting her green card.  So you would refuse to marry someone because they did something in their past that may have been illegal, like smoke pot?

We don't know the facts, and I'm not inclined to believe Politico or AP without the documents being produced.

You stop at a rest stop on the side of the interstate to take a leak. There are two stalls.

One is overflowing with crap. Crap on the floor, crap on the walls, crap everywhere.

The other is also overflowing with crap. Crap on the floor, crap on the walls, crap everywhere.

Do you pick the second one because there are ten fewer flies and a tiny spot on the floor that doesn't have crap.

or

Do you say hell no to both of them and take a leak out back behind a bush?

But but...American women just aren't pretty enough or willing enough to do those $20,050 in seven weeks modeling jobs.  /s

As Trump says when hiring illegals, Melania is just doing the job that Americans won't do.

Some people are claiming overkill on all these Trump sex allegations, but how can there be overkill?  Trump seems to have lived his life in search of beautiful women he could dominate and have sex with.

Why his multiple
associations with beauty pageants and models?  If only a tenth of the accusations are true, we still have a nasty, cruel sex obsessed pervert.

Do we really want this man running the country?  Not me.

One doesn't even need to believe third party stories. Trump bragged about his liaisons. Only in this campaign is the myth going up around him he is some godlike character.

The past week certainly balanced the scales in terms of anti-Trump vs. anti-Hillary articles.

See. You always argue with your "two choices" examples that there is a third choice. In my mind and in many others there is not a third choice. Just the two filthy stalls at the rest stop.

But there aren't two choices. That's what the uniparty establishment always wants you to believe so they can retain their monopoly.
If you are in Texas, for example, there are four options plus a write-in option with several more official write in candidates.
In California, there are 5 official candidates on the ballot.

Trying to force the choice down to the same old two, not acknowledging other options, is what as known as a false or artificial dichotomy error. That is actually a classic propaganda technique and should be a red flag that the forced option A or B are not the right choice.

The alternate choices you speak of are totally implausible for winning the Presidency at this point. The die has already been cast for this election cycle and thinking there is an alternate scenario is wishful thinking.

If you are really serious about an alternative to the 2 major parties, the time to do something about it is the day after the election. Find viable candidates for these new parties. Get people elected to lower offices to get a movement going. Get funding and support for the new parties so that when the election rolls around in 4 years there is something real there. Not some no name guy that we know nothing about and has no apparatus for success (McMuffin).

Implausible but not improbable based on our electoral history.  (that would make an 8-12% chance depending on what election factors you look at). The biggest chance out of that is the 270 strategy I've discussed before and polls actually make it a reasonable possibility.

But even if it is totally implausible, that's just a choice we each have to make. Do what we believe is right or go along with the crowd because it is popular. Each person has to make that decision and stand on it, even if they stand alone.

Sorry, but I have zero respect for people who will go after Mrs. the Donald for stupid, petty stuff.  In fact stuff they have no proof of.  All the while we have a known criminal that may very well be the next president.  I used to want tRump to lose just to watch his little trumpletes cry.  I now want him to win to watch the other side cry.   :shrug:
