Melania
Trump defended her husband’s policies on deporting undocumented
immigrants and temporarily barring foreign Muslims from entering the
country on Wednesday in some
of her most wide-ranging remarks on policy since Donald J. Trump
embarked on his presidential bid.
The
former model, who was born in Slovenia, has maintained a low profile
during Mr. Trump’s run for the Republican nomination. But in a rare
interview she made clear that
she agrees with some of his most contentious proposals.
“I don’t feel he insulted the Mexicans,” Ms. Trump said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program. “He talked about illegal immigrants.”
Ms.
Trump said that her own immigration story only solidified her view that
a hard line on immigration is necessary. Mr. Trump has called for
building a wall along the
border with Mexico and deporting any immigrants who are in the United
States illegally.
“I
followed the law,” Ms. Trump said, recalling that she returned to her
native country regularly and spent years going through a process to
become an American citizen.
“I follow the law the way it’s supposed to be. I never thought to stay
here without papers.”
Ms.
Trump is also on the same page as her husband when it comes to his idea
of a moratorium on Muslim immigration. Critics compared the idea with
the Japanese internment
camps that the United States used during World War II, but Ms. Trump
said that the temporary plan was necessary for national security
reasons.
“We
have people coming into the country, we don’t know who they are, we
don’t know what they will do,” Ms. Trump said. “He wants to protect the
people of America so we
have a country and to keep the country safe.”
