    Since Trump is trying to end birthright citizenship, her parents citizenship status actually would matter.

      Melania Trump was not born in the US. Her birthright citizenship can’t be taken away because she never had it.

      Her parents became citizens after she did.

        Yes. That’s what I’m saying. The fact that her parents aren’t citizens WOULD matter if she were to lose the naturalized status she currently holds, due to her previously working in the US without the proper visa.
