    Viktor and Amalija Knavs are green card holders from Slovenia, where he had worked as a cheuffer and she a dress pattern maker. They expect to be naturalized US citizens soon. Very likely, they have relied on a family reunification process that President Trump has derided as “chain migration” and proposed ending in such cases.

    btw, the Knavs are the parents of Melania Trump

    In a typical example, in 1885, Friedrich, immigrated from Germany as a 16-year-old with little English to join his oldest sister. His sister “had immigrated to New York a year earlier.” After gaining success in America, Friedrich returned to Germany and found a bride, Elizabeth Christ, who immigrated to the U.S. with him and gave birth to Fred Trump, Donald Trump’s father.

    In 1930, Mary Anne MacLeod immigrated to America from Scotland as an unskilled 18-year-old to live with her married sister in Queens. Six years later, she met Fred at a party, they married and had children, one of whom was Donald Trump. Columbia University historian Mae M. Ngai notes, “Donald Trump is a product of ‘chain migration.’”
