Isn't this about the two stories, one that she was an illegal immigrant that came to work, and the other one that she was a tourist who fell in love, went back and later returned.

I'm assuming that this request is in regards to the meme going around about her being an undocumented immigrant. As shown by journalists (like The Washington Post staff) and genealogists (like Megan Smolenyak) alike, this is false. You can actually see her naturalization petition at https://mobile.twitter.com/megansmolenyak/status/824353604396056577

What *is* true is that Donald Trump's paternal grandfather, Frederick Trump, left Germany illegally. He was eventually granted a waiver by the U.S. and became a citizen as well. If you want to read the entire story, replete with ample citations, it's covered in the book "Trump Revealed" by The Washington Post, which the Trump family cooperated on. Try the preview at http://amzn.to/2kemX2i or get a library copy at https://www.worldcat.org/title/trump-revealed-an-american-journey-o... for the full history.

So, as is so often the case, memes have grains of truth but not much substance. Yes, a recent ancestor had documentation and legality issues; no, Trump's mother was not "illegal."

Private User, your question is answered above. Please ask questions via the "Discussions" tab in the future instead of on the profile itself. Thanks!

Thank you for answering my query, with such detail, and promptness Ashley.
