Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

EB-1 Genius Visa:
This visa is for individuals with extraordinary ability in fields such as science, arts, education, business, or athletics, or for outstanding professors, researchers, and multinational managers
"a 1998 law change to the EB-1 program did allow for certain models and celebrities to qualify by demonstrating national or international acclaim."
What would you say her international acclaim was?
https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/07/02/melania-trump-einstein-visa/
It is unclear exactly what visa she had but the EB-1 is not "the genius visa". It is sometimes called that but a better statement is "extraordinary abilities" visa.
Do I think melania demonstrated extraordinary abilities in her being friends with a casting director and old enough to sell cigarettes but look young enough that the target demographic (kids) would still be attracted to her? I don't know and I don't care
Because, having assisted with a LOT of paperwork over the years? It is almost always about just making a fat enough folder that nobody reads beyond the list of documents that meet whatever requirements. And you generally pick one based on the nationality of the applicant, what your lawyer is willing to attempt, and what advantages you have by nature of the company's "status"
But what I do know? She is far from the only model to get an EB-1 (or H1-B). So you can argue that immigration needs an overhaul (and considering the verbiage... trump is probably your man) but she really doesn't show any signs of being an exception. She was just a model that had connections and looked younger than she was. Which... explains a lot about who she would end up associating with but that has very little to do with immigration.
