At the same time Donald Trump was ripping families apart at the border, caging children and screaming about chain migration, he was using chain migration and a big $$$ lawyer to get Melania Trump's family into the USA.

Immigration activists in the US are accusing the president of being a hypocrite. Donald Trump has been critical of the legal practice that gives relatives of citizens preference for moving to the US. Now his wife's parents have been granted citizenship, seemingly as a result of the same immigration policy. Al Jazeera's Kimberly Halkett reports.
Melania Trump spent her first few weeks in the United States working illegally. Her parents were just sworn in as citizens through chain migration. These are both items that Trump has said have to go, and under the new proposed rules for immigrants that become citizens, Melania would technically be up for having her citizenship revoked. The rules, however, aren’t meant to target people that look like Trump, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.
