Yes, if your candidate repeatedly violated the Espionage Act, sold State Department favors, met clandestinely with the current AG to arrange an historic miscarriage of justice and are now desperate to find mud to sling at your opponent who has not violated the Espionage Act, sold State Departemnt favors or conspired to pervert justice, then yes, this could be huge.
We'll agree to disagree on that point. This is a tempest in a teapot.

Doubt it all you like. Come back to me when you have proof. Even if she DID work and get paid, this is a pretty minor legal violation and it happens A LOT.

Guilty until proven innocent? That's not how our legal system works. Pictures are not, in and of themselves, evidence that laws were broken. IF laws were broken, great. Show me.

And btw, these models don't have to wait in the same lines other immigrants do. What makes them any different than IT workers?
We will also agree to disagree that models getting H1bs is a "large issue".

He should live up to the same standards and demands he makes of others.
That was an idiotic demand, and Pres. Obama was under no obligation to do so. The idiocy was evidenced by the fact that even after he DID produce it, the loony-tunes Birthers still didn't believe.

I'm no fan of Trump, but this isn't the type of immigration problem he's talking about. "Building a wall" would have zero impact on H1b visa holders or anyone else in the country on a tourist visa that was, in fact, working. So, your parallel is pretty shaky.

Yes, I fully understand the details of the issue, but thanks for linking them again. Further, I don't care one whit if it's "easier" for models than for people in other career fields.
Melania was an illegal immigrant working illegally until she met Trump.
Melania claims she came to the US in 1996 but the nude photo shoot shows she was here in 1995. Melania also says that she would return home from New York to renew her visa every few months. This means she has visitor's visa only - a work visa would gave a longer time frame and not have required her to return home every few months.
She was a top model and they have zero problems getting visas because they come and go with their jobs. At least they go and don't go on welfare.
They also don't want to in general break their money maker pushing out anchor babies.

You must have a steady diet of Sean Hannity and Fox (faux) News !!

Where? Not in the fashion industry. She only got a few jobs AFTER she got together with Trump. Melania's past is slowly being exposed. The Slovenian "modeling" agency was actually an escort service. She was also in the US illegally when she met Trump.

So is being an escort "working"? If so, she was "working" on a tourist visa which is also illegal.

Agreed. Working as an escort in the US while on a tourist visa is illegal.
