Crockett Criticizes Melania Trump's 'Einstein Visa'

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on visa integrity, Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticized the Trump administration's aggressive immigration policies and highlighted the circumstances behind former First Lady Melania Trump's EB-1 'Einstein visa.' Crockett argued that while the administration revoked visas, sometimes over social media posts, and intensified scrutiny of immigrants’ online activity, Melania Trump received a visa typically reserved for individuals with extraordinary achievements, which Crockett claimed she did not meet. Crockett questioned the focus on immigration integrity by Republicans in light of these inconsistencies, particularly given Melania's modeling career lacked major accolades. The hearing reignited debate on fairness, transparency, and selective enforcement in the U.S. immigration system. The controversy also raised broader concerns about the potential political use of immigration laws and the standards applied to high-profile immigrants. Crockett’s remarks called for a more principled and consistent approach to immigration policy.
