The increasingly ludicrous Ben Habib Is arguing that Lucy White's attack on Nus Ghani being an MP is not racist

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.
