“The View” Republican — and “Never Trumper” — host Ana Navarro warned First Lady Melania Trump that her citizenship could be removed if President Donald Trump is allowed to strip others of it.
Speaking on Monday’s episode of “The View,” the co-hosts were talking about Elon Musk’s new political party and the reasons that he isn’t the best poster boy for it.
“What I found very interesting is that Trump says that he’s looking at deporting Musk as the feud reignites and Musk didn’t seem to have a problem with his companies getting all sorts of, you know, wonderful contracts for his SpaceX,” said Sunny Hostin.
“The Department of Justice is now prioritizing seeking to strip citizenship from naturalized citizens,” Hostin added.
“Girl, don’t give them any ideas,” Navarro chimed in.
“Somebody should remind Trump that his wife is a naturalized citizen,” Navarro noted.
“She sure is,” agreed Hostin.
“If my naturalized citizenship can be taken away, then so can hers by somebody else in the future,” Navarro quipped.
Navarro was born in Nicaragua, and her family fled to the U.S. to escape political instability in the country. Melania Trump was born in Eastern Europe in what is now Slovenia. She entered the U.S. in 2001 under the EB-1 visa, also known as the “Einstein visa,” which is designed to recruit the top talent of the world to come to the U.S. Melania Trump was working as a model at the time.
