In a recent House Judiciary Committee session, Texas Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett launched a verbal assault on First Lady Melania Trump, questioning the legitimacy of her U.
S. citizenship obtained through the EB-1 visa, commonly known as the "Einstein" visa.
Crockett's critique extended beyond the First Lady, as she took aim at President Trump's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, accusing it of lacking "integrity."
During her address, Crockett expressed her disapproval of ICE's practices, stating, "Integrity isnt snatching lawful visa holders off the streets and throwing them into unmarked vans. Integrity is not revoking visas based on social media posts that hurt somebodys little feelings because kids decided they wanted to go after Trump or this administration. We have a thing called free speech in this country." Her comments reflect a broader criticism of the administration's immigration policies.
As reported by One America News, Crockett further accused the Republican party of hypocrisy regarding immigration, particularly concerning the President's family. She questioned, "And since we are talking about integrity, Im confused as to why my Republican colleagues arent talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the presidents familys visas?" Crockett highlighted the First Lady's EB-1 visa, stating, "Let me remind yall that Melania, the first lady, a model and when I say model, Im not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford or Naomi Campbell level applied for and was given an EB-1 visa, and what that stands for is an Einstein visa."
Crockett elaborated on the criteria for the EB-1 visa, which is typically reserved for individuals with significant achievements such as Nobel Prizes or Olympic medals. She remarked, "Last time I checked, the first lady had none of those accolades under her belt. It doesnt take an Einstein to see that the math aint mathin here." Melania Trump, originally from Slovenia, moved to the United States in the 1990s as a model and became a citizen before marrying President Trump in 2006.
Crockett's comments come in the wake of President Trump's recent executive order, "Enhancing National Security by Addressing Risks at Harvard University," which imposes restrictions on foreign nationals participating in exchange programs at the prestigious institution. This move is part of the administration's broader strategy to tighten immigration controls, a policy area that has been a cornerstone of President Trump's agenda.
