From The New York Times:
"Reports that the first lady, Melania Trump, received an immigrant visa reserved for "individuals with extraordinary ability" in 2001, when she was a model, have thrust the EB-1 visa program into the spotlight. The news, first reported by The Washington Post, raised questions about whether Mrs. Trump had truly qualified for the visa.
But several immigration lawyers rebuffed those questions, saying the requirements for the EB-1 immigrant visa leave far more room for interpretation than its nickname and its best-and-brightest reputation suggest."
"The notion that you somehow have to be a genius or Einstein is utter fiction, said Chris Wright, a lawyer based in Los Angeles. We have succeeded with models no more accomplished than Melania Trump."
"Elissa Taub, a lawyer in Memphis who secured the EB-1 for [a] German gymnast, said that some of her denials burn me to this day, like that of a nuclear astrophysicist who had produced groundbreaking work at a national lab. Immigration officials said his title on the job was not senior enough to merit the EB-1.
We lost a great scientific mind due to this crazy decision, she said of the scholar, who returned to India.
In another case, U.S.C.I.S. acknowledged that a Chinese researcher had fulfilled three criteria to qualify, but that scientists who have risen to the very top of the field have garnered citations numbered in the thousands, not in the hundreds, as he had shown. He was denied."
Nothing like the best and the brightest, right?

California, as everybody knows, is part of our Country. And without a Border, we don't have a Country. On Tuesday I'll be visiting San Diego. Otay Mesa. It's a very important visit. Because I'm going to be inspecting the prototypes for the Wall. To see which ones are good -- hopefully we've got some good ones -- and which ones, maybe, are not so good. I encourage my supporters to be there, people are going to remember this for a long time. Because we have 8 prototypes. But we're not going to build 8 walls, it's going to be 1 Wall. Very big contract, very big project. And maybe I'll announce the winner. Come and find out!
Then I'm off to Beverly Hills for what's going to be, I'm sure, a tremendous fund raiser. For our Republican Party, we're getting more and more Republicans elected in California. And that's going to happen even more once we build the Wall.
Very excited because this is my first visit to California since I took office. I've been there before. I had some great rallies there, as you know. Because of you, partly because of you. I thank you for coming. I really thought I would win California. But your elections are very crooked, a lot of voter fraud goes on there. It didn't matter. Because I had tremendous support from the rest of our Country. And so many folks who didn't support me are seeing what a great job I'm doing. And they'll be with me in 2020.
I have some property there, Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles. The best golf course on the West Coast. And I have so many friends in the industry. Movies, television. Very important that we protect our movies & TV. Also music. Because if those go down the drain, economically, they'll take California & New York with them. And we can't afford for those states to become more of a burden than they already are. Our military, I love what California builds for our military. The military contractors, so important. And we have some huge military bases out there. Where we test our ICBMs. And many things.
California, maybe you saw the new numbers on that bullet train. Where it's going to cost over $77 billion. If they build it. They started building it, it doesn't go to the cities. It's supposed to go to San Francisco, it doesn't go to San Francisco. It's supposed to go to Los Angeles, it doesn't go to Los Angeles. Anaheim, maybe they started in Anaheim, right? Sorry, Anaheim. It goes from a little farming town to a little farming town. I love the farmers, they did so much to elect me. But they don't need a bullet train, it's very foolish. It's taking a very long time to build, and very big expense, because they have too many regulations. They're talking about, maybe they'll finish it in 2050. They're paying for it with a carbon tax. Which they don't call a tax, they call it cap and trade. But it's a tax, believe me. And that tax is killing the economy in California.
If you have cell phone, please sign up for my text messages. My mobile alerts. The info is at the bottom of my tweet. I promise you won't get a lot. Your phone won't blow up. But when I'm coming to your area you'll know. And I'm coming next week!

I think it was obvious he was fake from some of his earlier comments.
This guy is getting a bit better at trolling though...

His grammar is way above that of a 5th grader.
And he does not have the best words.
SAD.
