I Know This Seems Petty, But …
Okay, with all the totally insane stuff going on in the White House this week, this is hardly a bleep on the Oh Crap Meter.
But it just ticked me off. It gushes of white privilege and talking money.
The Washington Post is reporting that Melania Trump got “an Einstein visa.”
In March 2001, she was granted a green card in the elite EB-1 program, which was designed for renowned academic researchers, multinational business executives or those in other fields, such as Olympic athletes and Oscar-winning actors, who demonstrated “sustained national and international acclaim.”
“We called it the Einstein visa,” said Bruce Morrison, a former Democratic congressman and chairman of the House subcommittee that wrote the Immigration Act of 1990 defining EB-1.
The story gives examples of why she really did not qualify for the special visa at the time.
See, this is what hacks me off about the whole bunch of them at the Trump White House. They truly believe they are special.
Thanks to Pam for the heads up.
