Trump's mother should have been sent back to Scotland.

Mary Anne MacLeod immigrated here legally before she ever met Fred. She arrived with legal paper with intent to become an American citizen, as can be done today.

If she just showed up and said my sister lives here and she came here illegally and therefore I must be given citizenship even though I also came illegally, Then yes, they should have sent her back!
But she didn't. She came legally and not through chain migration.

You said Melania's parents live here here.
1. Are they here legally?
2. Are they citizens?

Past immigration policy is not relevant to the world today. We can not take every person in the world that desires to be here.
And, how is it fair to tell others, that, no you may not come here because you are not from the right family.

Merit base is the fairest way, and when we admit One person, it is not a path for the entire extended family.
Having family members that are actual citizens should be considered as part of the merit of the individual, but not the defining one.
