"The United States has never faced a shortage of fashion models. The H1B program was never designed to help maintain America’s edge on the fashion runway. The visa that Melania Trump obtained came at the expense of some other employer who needed it for a more critical sort of worker.
Donald Trump, of course, denies having intervened on Melania’s behalf. He also claims to be the standard-bearer of the movement to halt immigration abuses. If this doesn’t qualify as an abuse of the system, what does?
The fact is, Trump lives and breathes by a double standard on immigration in which it’s perfectly fine to bend the rules when it suits his needs. When it’s other people’s lives, families and staffs on the verge of being split up, he shrugs his shoulders and pronounces, “Get ’em outta here.”
