It’s up to Melania Trump to show us what a first lady who supports legal immigration looks like.
In a rare post-White House appearance, the former president’s wife spoke at length about her path to American citizenship, calling it “arduous” during remarks at a National Archives naturalization ceremony in Washington, D.C.
25 immigrants received their oaths of citizenship at the event, which the former first lady of Slovenia attended, according to CNN.
“My personal experience of traversing the challenges of the immigration process opened my eyes to the harsh realities people face, including you, who try to become U.S. citizens,” Trump said.
CNN said that Melania, who married the future president in 2005 and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, “described the difficulties of trying to familiarize herself with immigration law, conducting research and painstakingly gathering information and paperwork.”
“The pathway to citizenship is arduous,” she said during her remarks “My life turned into labyrinth of organizing paperwork.”
However, she added that the work was worth it, saying she felt a “tremendous sense of pride and belonging” after the swearing-in was done.
“For me, reaching the milestone of American citizenship marked the sunrise of certainty,” she said, according to The Hill.
“At that exact moment, I forever discarded the layer of burden connected with whether I would be able to live in the United States. I hope you’re blanketed with similar feelings of comfort right now.
“Becoming an American citizen comes with responsibility, it means actively participating in the democratic process and guarding our freedom,” she told the newly minted American citizens.
“It also means leading by example and contributing to our society. It is a life-altering experience that takes time, determination and sometimes, even tremendous strength.
“Be proud of yourself, stand your ground, and embrace opportunities that lie ahead,” Melania added, imploring them: “You are American! Be a beacon of inspiration for your children and those who follow in your footsteps.”

Let’s set aside the fact that Melania is appearing at the National Archives at the same time that former President Trump—the current front-runner for the GOP nomination in 2024—is fighting a court case based, in part, on his dispute with the National Archives over the retention of classified documents. Melania Trump is facing 37 charges in connection with that saga, making it an unusual location for her to appear.
In 2021, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Dr. Jill “promoted a private school run by a Democratic donor that advises illegal immigrants on how to avoid arrest.”
The first lady, also a teacher, paid a visit to El Centro Academy in Kansas City, Kansas, an institution that “has published a series of videos that instruct illegal immigrants on how to avoid arrest from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
“One video, for example, advises viewers to ignore ICE agents altogether during an interaction and contact ‘a member of the community who does have status,’” the report noted, adding the president of the school “also worked with the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce to create ‘safe spaces’ for immigrants by prohibiting local cooperation with ICE to ‘protect residents from deportation.’”
Meanwhile, earlier this year, Dr. Jill invited “dreamer” activist Mitzi Colin Lopez to be her guest at the State of the Union speech.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Colin Lopez became an immigration activist after she “received protection from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program” and graduated from college.
The contrast is clear, and it underlines a crucial distinction between Republicans and Democrats: the GOP is not anti-immigrant but rather anti-lawlessness.
The fact that we had a border crisis during the Biden administration is not by chance. At every turn, those who support it have praised illegal immigration, asserting that there is little difference between those who go through the “arduous” process of obtaining citizenship and those who skip the line by breaking American laws and receive rewards from Democrats for blatantly cynical reasons.
It’s a disparity that will take a visit from the former first lady to underscore—if they care to highlight it at all.

We, as conservatives, are always saying that we want to see change but don’t know how to make that happen.
Well, one way to stop it is by not funding it.
Every single time you purchase detergent from Walmart, deodorant from Walgreens, or snacks from Food Lion, you are funding the liberal agenda.
I know it sounds harsh, and I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of it.
I am sick of seeing my money go to everything I despise.
That is why I was so glad to find the Public Square app that opened my eyes up to all the patriots out there with stores to shop from that had the same beliefs as I did.
But I also wanted a one-stop shop to start shopping at—you know, that one place that would have everything I needed for my household plus some extras.
I found it, and I had to share it with you!
Pro-American…
Pro-Freedom…
Pro-Liberty…
And happy to do business with Conservatives!
Plus, they’ve been at it for more than three decades!
Everything about them, from design to production to storage and delivery, is 100% American.
Their founder was even included in Obama’s “Most Dangerous Conservatives” list.
After learning those specifics, I knew I had arrived at my destination.
Why, then, have you not heard of them?
Simply put, they don’t advertise at all.
They prefer to stay off the radar.
Everything is personal invitations only.
But now that I’m working with them, I can get you in, and we can change the world together!
The only catch is that I only have a small team, and so many people are reaching out for invites that we are completely swamped.
Companies that are actively working toward our demise should not receive any of our hard-earned money.
They came out and said they aimed to cut the global population in half, from 8 billion to 500 million.
They want to get rid of 94% of the world’s population right now.
Still, we keep spending our money on their large box businesses because we have few other options.
But that’ll all change today.
Allow me to introduce you to the solution.
It’s time to make the “Big Box Switch” and change where you send your dollars each month.
All of that is real, and I’m so excited to tell you about it. I hope you’ll join the mission with me.
Here’s a quick summary of this company that I’m so excited to now be partnered with on this mission:
Sound good to anyone else?
I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up.
They only want people on the same mission to join, and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs!
They’ve been doing it for 37 years, and it’s been working great.
Oh, and did I mention the products are non-toxic and don’t have all the chemicals and crap like Red Dye 40 that all the big corporations put in their products to weaken you?
To wear you down?
To make you—and your family—sick?
Because then, when you get sick, you’ll buy their drugs!
Sorry folks, I don’t play that game, and neither does my family.
We’re talking about the last all-natural, grass-fed, no-hormone, massive Black Angus beef cattle ranch in the United States.
Sound good?
We’re talking fluoride-free toothpaste, chemical-free cleaners, and Deet-free mosquito repellant!
What novel concepts, right?
Stop sending your money to these 11 corporations that do not have your best interests at heart.
It’s an illusion of choice.
There’s only one pro-American, American-made and manufactured, chemical-free, toxin-free, hormone-free company left, and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK!
Oh, and that is not all!
Customers who shop at the store also get discounts at 1600 other retail stores, including hotels and Airbnb.
That is not to mention medical discount plans, plans to protect your online identity, home security systems, and even more.
This is why I shop here now.
It has everything and like I said, it is patriot-owned and American-made.
The best part is that it has a 100% satisfaction guarantee and an A+ with the BBB.

And they will assist you in setting everything up.
Who else is sick of ingesting arsenic, cadmium, and lead and is ready to do something about it?
