A viral petition on MoveOn has ignited controversy by demanding the deportation of First Lady Melania Trump, her parents, and her son Barron Trump. The petition comes in response to the ongoing debate surrounding potential deportations of naturalized citizens, particularly in light of President Trump’s reported plans. The petition emphasizes the belief that if such policies are applied for national security, then the First Lady should not be an exception. This echoes earlier comments from Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who questioned the documentation status of Melania’s parents. Melania Trump, who was born in the former Yugoslavia, became a US citizen in 2006 and sponsored her parents for green cards, who later became citizens. The petition highlights what some perceive as double standards in Trump’s immigration stance.
