In a shocking display of hypocrisy, far-left commentator Joy Reid suggested on her YouTube show that Democrats could weaponize immigration laws to denaturalize and deport former First Lady Melania Trump—simply because they dislike her. During an interview with radical “Squad” member Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Reid floated the absurd idea that a future Democratic president could strip Melania of her citizenship and send her back to Slovenia, declaring, “She’s outta here.”
Reid’s venomous remarks came in response to President Donald Trump’s recent comments about deporting criminal illegal aliens, even those born in the U.S. The President’s strong stance on enforcing immigration laws stands in stark contrast to Reid’s vindictive fantasy of political retribution. While President Trump prioritizes national security and the rule of law, Reid and her allies openly advocate for abusing government power to punish political opponents.
The liberal media’s double standards were on full display as Reid ranted:
“If you give the president of the United States monarchical-like powers to say, ‘I don’t like your views, I don’t like your take on issues, I don’t like that you’re too liberal, you’re not conservative enough, I’m just gonna take away your naturalized citizenship,’ well… if we ever get a Democratic president, they could say, ‘I don’t like Melania Trump. She wasn’t born here. She was born in Slovenia. She is a naturalized citizen. She’s outta here.’”
Reid didn’t stop there. She also targeted President Trump’s children, suggesting that because their late mother, Ivana Trump, was originally from Czechoslovakia, a Democratic administration could strip them of their citizenship as well. “Maybe the next Democratic president says, ‘You know what? I don’t like the Trumps. And so we’re gonna denaturalize all of the Trump children, whose mother was a foreigner at the time.’”
This kind of rhetoric is exactly why Americans distrust the liberal media. While President Trump fights to secure the border and protect American citizens, Democrats like Reid openly fantasize about using the same laws to attack their political enemies. The left’s obsession with destroying the Trump family reveals their true agenda: power at any cost.
Joy Reid claims Trump's immigration policies could lead to Melania Trump being denaturalized and deported.

President Trump has consistently championed legal immigration while cracking down on illegal entries. His policies prioritize the safety and prosperity of American citizens—unlike Reid and her allies, who would rather exploit the system for partisan revenge.
