Under a Trump-backed immigration bill, thousands would no longer be able to enter the US. Now, many are wondering if two members of Trump’s own family, his wife Melania and grandfather Friedrich, would have been able to come to America if this bill was in place? In PolitiFact, Maxwell Professor Elizabeth Cohen gave her answers to that question.
Cohen, who specializes in immigration, called Friedrich’s chances of acceptance “highly unlikely,” why Melania “probably would have come close” to the required 30 points, while adding that it would depend on her English proficiency and starting income.
