One of Donald Trump's more famous tirades on immigration occurred last year when he railed - in a private meeting - about people from "shithole" countries - and wanted to know why the United States was not encouraging more immigration from places like Norway. Some wags translated that outburst as Trump favoring immigration from predominantly white countries and opposing immigration from places with populations that are largely brown and black. Trump added to that unfavorable portrayal of immigrants from south of our border - or at least some of them - when he referred to them as "animals" who were "infesting" our country. Recently at campaign-style rallies Trump has stood back and smiled as his supporters chant "animals" in response to his remarks about immigrants from Latin America.
And while some argue that it is a bit unfair to judge Donal Trump's heart-of-hearts by a few racist-sounding comments, others note that his reaction to immigrants does seem to fall solidly along color lines. Indeed, two of Trump's three wives entered the United States as immigrants. Wife number one, Ivana, was a Czechoslovakian national who came to the U.S. through Canada in the mid-1970's. She married Donald Trump in April of 1977 and gave birth to the first of their three children, Donald Trump, Jr., later that same year. Ivana was, and is, very white and very blonde.
Wife number three, Melania, a Slovenian national, is also white - though not a blonde. Melania, our current First Lady and someone whom Trump has described as being his "trophy" wife, entered the country as a model, a profession which included some "underwear" and nude modeling. She was apparently able to stay because her work fulfilled some critical need.
Yesterday Melaina's parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, were sworn in as U.S. citizens in New York City. They were eligible for citizenship due to their famous daughter already being a citizen - a process that Donald Trump and members of his inner-circle have referred to as "chain-migration."
For those who tend to get confused about the complexities of immigration issues, just remember to use Donnie's handy-dandy color wheel: immigration from white Europe is a good thing; immigration from brown Mexico or black Kenya is bad. The former may aspire to live in the penthouses of New York, and the latter, if they can score coveted work permits, may aspire to clean the toilets of the former.
And if anyone needs a refresher on the subtleties of immigration, Trump aide Stephen Miller is standing by ready to be of assistance. Sieg effing heil, you betcha he is!
