The article discusses a contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing where U.S. Rep Jasmine Crockett criticized Republican colleagues for overlooking concerns about immigration integrity, particularly regarding Melania Trump's EB1 visa. Crockett raised questions about how Melania, a model without the supermodel status of others, qualified for the prestigious visa, especially given her relatively brief period in the U.S. before obtaining it. Crockett emphasized the need for a fair immigration process, contrasting it with recent punitive actions by ICE against lawful visa holders, and defended free speech rights in the context of immigration enforcement.
"Let me tell you how you receive an Einstein visa. You're supposed to have some sort of significant achievement, like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize."
"Integrity is not revoking visas based on social media posts that hurt somebody's little feelings... We have a thing called free speech in this country."
