Melania Trump became a citizen in 2006... Barron was born in March 2006.. I have a question

If Barron was born before Melania became a citizen, is he a citizen according to Trump and the Maga's definitions??.. .. I am trying to make heads and tails out of this...since Trump is pulling birthright citizenship. Will Miller send ICE after Barron?.

She had an Einstein visa! She was also married to an American "citizen".

But I have had the same thoughts.

ICE and Trump clearly don't give a damn about that.

I think millionaires and politicians historically do whatever the hell they want, so… what’s the problem? Totally apolitical.

One parent must be (to be born OCONUS and still have citizenship) -- jus sanguinis.

It ONLY applies to people born after February 19, 2025 to certain non-citizens (which wouldn't have included Melania, even it it was retroactive).

Neither of her biological parents were US citizens at the time of her birth.
