Former speaker of the House and prominent Trump surrogate Newt Gingrich touched on this topic while speaking with Fox News on Monday. Gingrich utilized Trump’s own Slovenian-born wife Melania Trump as proof that he is not “anti-immigrant.”
Trump has made it clear through statements, position papers and actual deeds that he is not against immigrants in general, only those who come here illegally and proceed to commit further crimes while here.
“Melania is not only very, very attractive as a supermodel, but she’s also living proof that Donald Trump is not anti-immigrant,” Gingrich said, adding, “He’s just for legal immigrants.” He wants to keep America safe. He wants to have illegal immigrants taken care of, that they will not be in the country,” For her part, Melania Trump has made virtually the same argument in defense of her husband whenever the topic of his stance on immigration comes up in interviews. She said while speaking with CNN on Monday, according to The Hill. “They are not good for the America. He was talking about illegal immigration, not about everybody.”
Please share this if you find it hard to accept that Donald Trump is “anti-immigrant,” seeing as he is married to one.
