The issue as I understand it is a conflict of interest for government electees, appointees, and employees with dual citizenship.
Not sure involving Melania and Barron is the best argument to negate conflict of interest for legislatures, et al. Still lack admission or proof both have dual citizenship. Just because they can, doesn't mean they do.
Okay. Just curious, if you had evidence that they do hold dual citizenship, how would that change your opinions?
The democrats had a field day concerning Trump, Melania, Barron, and Melania's parents when he became President. Did you pay attention to it when it was going on?
It was when Trump was trying to make/change laws about people coming here on tourist or work visas and chain migration. And he had married a woman who was here on one of the visas he wanted to change. And then when she got her citizenship, she brought her parents over via chain migration. Which was something that Trump was, at the time, trying to reduce or eliminate.
So, yeah, the whole thing about Barron and Melania having dual citizenship and being the immediate family of the US President was chewed over relentlessly.
I'm surprised that you all didn't know/didn't remember any of that. It was a really, really, big deal during the first few months of Trump's presidency.
The attitudes I see here aren't limited to only those in Congress or in government positions. And the question of the loyalty of the President's wife and child is certainly as important as that of those in government positions.
So, yeah. People should really know this type of stuff when they have such strong opinions about it. And calling people with dual citizenship "enemies of America" is quite a strong opinion.
But going back to my original point, I wonder sometimes how well some people here would fare if some lib came up to them with a camera rolling and asked them these types of "gotcha" questions.
Because it is just embarrassing and cringe-worthy to watch what some idiots say on camera, who just so happen to support Trump and/or Q. And then it's made to seem like all Trump/Q supporters are that stupid.
So maybe we should at least be aware of these things. 🤷
Suppose at the time I felt the same as I do now. Seems anchor babies and chain migration has more to do with illegal entry than legal entry. Melania entered legally, so I had and still have no issue with her status.
The dual citizenship issue should be addressed for those in government whether elected, appointed, (sub)contracted, hired. I don't know any pro arguments for such. As for spouses, I suppose it depends. A dual citizenship with Ukraine is not the same as a dual citizenship with Slovenia.
Anchor babies and chain migration are not limited to illegals. A person could come here on a student visa, get pregnant, and have the baby in the US. That's still an anchor baby. It helps the mother (and often other family members) stay in the US longer than their visa would have allowed. The same thing applies to chain migration.
It just adds insult to injury when the person who does either is illegal.
So it depends on what country the person has dual citizenship with if you believe it's a threat to America? Slovenia has sided with Ukraine in this most recent conflict with Russia. Does that affect your opinion?
So, hypothetically, if our next President is a Democrat and has a spouse and child with dual citizenship in Mexico, would you take issue with that? What if they're Canadian? Or Israeli?
I, personally, think that we should hold the same standards for everyone. No matter what their nationality is, they should be treated the same. Because I think it's hypocritical to say we can trust the loyalty of someone based on where they were born. If one person can be believed to be loyal to the US no matter their country of birth, then all the others in that situation should be treated the same. I take the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution seriously. They're both full of the ideas of "all men are created equal" and the laws we have for equal rights. But that's just me. 🤷
I'm not the one responsible for their citizenship status. I'm not going to defend them one way or another.
If it's a matter of you not believing what I say, I applaud you for your skepticism. Go take a few minutes and look for yourself. It's not a secret.
PS- He's getting his Slovenian citizenship from his mother, who is....Slovenian.
Thanks for the info.
