Melania Trump's parents just became US citizens today, less than a week after a rally in Pennsylvania where Donald Trump complained about chain migration.

The White House has repeatedly refused to comment on what type of visa her parents had, likely because they were here as part of so called "chain migration", the policy Trump has repeatedly lobbed attacks against, often times by mischaracterizing it and making up fabricated anecdotes.

Her parents, who do not work, reportedly raise Trump's youngest son and frequently travel between Trump's properties and the White House, often traveling with Barron and Melania on taxpayer funded aircraft and with secret service protection. This is only noteworthy given the recent report that Trump may seek to deny citizenship to legal immigrants who have used government assistance and his insistence on promoting immigrants who would most contribute to this nation first.
