LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Seth Meyers commended President Joe Biden’s recent executive actions aimed at safeguarding undocumented immigrants married to US citizens, quipping on 'Late Night' that these measures might particularly benefit Melania Trump.

According to NBC News, Biden’s initiative is expected to "shield about 500,000 immigrants from deportation." Meyers humorously suggested that this move could extend the reality TV series ‘90 Day Fiance’ by "20 more seasons," thereby delighting the show's fans.

“This just in, ’90 Day Fiance’ has been renewed for 20 more seasons,” Meyers joked Tuesday night. “Good news for fans of the show.”

Yet Meyers didn’t miss the opportunity to highlight one specific immigrant who could find the news especially welcome: "Melania Trump," whom he jokingly noted has rarely received such positive attention from a US president. "It’s the first time a US president has done something nice for Melania," Meyers said.

Melania Trump, who became a citizen in 2006 after obtaining her green card in 2001, has consistently maintained the legality of her immigration journey.

However, reports from the Associated Press revealed that she was paid for multiple modeling jobs in the US nearly two months before she obtained her work visa.

In a striking contrast to Biden's border policy, Melania's husband, former President Donald Trump, has campaigned to crack down on US immigration policies if reelected to office in the 2024 election and has often labeled illegal immigrants as "criminals."

During an interview with New York radio station WABC last month, the 2024 presumptive GOP nominee also declared that those crossing the border between the United States and Mexico are carrying contagious diseases with them.



 

Diverse reactions to Joe Biden's immigration action

President Biden's recent executive action aimed at protecting undocumented immigrants married to US citizens has sparked a range of responses, from humor to criticism and skepticism across social media platforms.

One user wrote, "Maybe she wanted to be deported, as long as the convicted stays behind."

Another stated, "Won't make it through the courts. Sorry Joe, you don't have the authority...again."

One replied, "Ive never seen Seth and Dr Jill in the same room ."

Another commented, "If you like with Biden did with the migrants , let them all move in with you. All the money you have and I am quite sure you have a nice big home with a lot of land."

One added, "Something nice to Liberals is not upholding the law like he swore to GOD to do."

Another said, "Sorry Seth Biden will exclude those who are Republican."

One replied, "Why is this guy being paid? He's not funny, not bright, he's just a Democrat with a TV show. "
