The California Democrat made the remarks about the first lady while expressing her opposition to cuts to federal programs by DOGE.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters suggested that Donald Trump should consider deporting his wife, Melania Trump, while criticizing his administration's immigration policies.
Melania Trump, like Musk, seems to have worked in the US prior to having authorization. That does mean she could be stripped of her citizenship.
But Waters seems very confused, as Melania Trump was not born in the US. Looking at her parents' document status has nothing to do with her citizenship.
Yes. That's what I'm saying. The fact that her parents aren't citizens WOULD matter if she were to lose the naturalized status she currently holds, due to her previously working in the US without the proper visa.
