Melania's circumstances of entry are not about Melania...

It is more appropriately about the sex trafficking trade in Eastern European women generally - which is what these "modeling" arrangements are about.

Or if it is not "modeling", it is "housekeeping" work promised to young women whose travel is arranged, and they are driven from the airport directly to some sort of exploitive arrangement to pay their debt to those who arranged it.

That's what this is about.

1. Yep, and that college degree thing was so bogus

2. Bingo

3. Yes, this ties to the modelling story

Considering they are often a front for prostitution of minors, break immigration and labor laws at best and are human trafficking of juveniles at worst,
...
and the Epstein parties that used such models, everything ties together pretty well

If Trump was elected, he would wind up in ja and I got the feeling the GOP knows that and is banking on that. Don't tell me a lot of things on Trump are not now known by them; they want Pence to succeed and are sitting on this info

5. Trump actually has some other illegal immigration issues

Human trafficking and such...

4. I run on the dense side. Are you saying Melania was a victim, thinking she

was coming to model, or that she knew the score and it was a way to get into the country?

[jberryhill]

6. I am saying that distinction is not relevant

Look, my mother was a young Austrian woman at the end of a war which had devastated her country. She got lucky with my dad, in that they developed a genuine and loving interest in each other, but many women in her circumstances are vulnerable to exploitation.

There is a serious problem with exploitation of young women from various unfortunate backgrounds by various manifestations of the "entertainment" industry. It's a much more important question to ask who is employing young foreign women here on visitor visas.
