Melania Trump and her son, Barron, may find themselves affected by a Republican senator’s aggressive move to limit immigration through proposed legislation.

Senator Bernie Moreno from Ohio is preparing to introduce a bill aimed at abolishing dual citizenship.

Both Melania and Barron hold dual citizenship with the United States and Slovenia, Melania’s country of birth. The former First Lady was born in Slovenia and subsequently secured dual citizenship for her son.

Moreno’s proposed legislation would compel individuals with dual citizenship to relinquish their foreign citizenship if they wish to retain their American status.

Despite the proposal, the likelihood of the legislation passing is slim, given the Supreme Court’s past rulings that uphold the right to dual citizenship.

The White House and the Office of the First Lady have not responded to requests for comment regarding the proposed legislation.

The proposal comes amid Republican demands for a further crackdown on immigration after the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, DC the day before Thanksgiving. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom was killed in the attack. 

The suspected shooter is Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who was part of a secret unit operating under CIA direction to hunt down Taliban commanders. He entered the US under Joe Biden during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

A Republican Senator plans to introduce immigration legislation that could impact First Lady Melania Trump and herson Barron Trump, who are dual citizens of the US and Slovenia

Two days after the shooting Donald Trump swiftly placed a ‘permanent pause’ on migration from ‘third world countries’ via a social media post.

While he did not list the countries, it’s likely Trump was referring to, in part, Afghanistan, Iran, Laos, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Venezuela. 

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that all asylum claims are now in limbo and under review.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday followed-up with a proposal for a ‘full travel ban’ on countries ‘flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.’

And now, Moreno’s plans would require those with dual citizenship with any other country to swear their ‘exclusive allegiance’ to the US.

The pro-Trump senator was born in Colombia, but has since renounced his citizenship there.

‘One of the greatest honors of my life was when I became an American citizen at 18, the first opportunity I could do so,’ Moreno told Fox News Digital on Monday.

‘It was an honor to pledge an Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America and only to the United States of America,’ he continued. ‘Being an American citizen is an honor and a privilege—and if you want to be an American, it’s all or nothing. It’s time to end dual citizenship for good.’

Republican Senator Moreno of Ohio plans to introduce the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025, which he says aims to eliminate ‘conflicts of interest and divided loyalties’ between the US and foreign nations

But President Donald Trump’s own wife and youngest son would be impacted by the legislation if it were to be signed into law

Commenting on his Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025, Moreno claimed dual citizenship creates ‘conflicts of interest and divided loyalties.’

His legislation would alter current immigration law and require dual citizens to choose just one citizenship.

Melania was born in Slovenia in 1970. She came to New York as a model in 1996 on a tourist visa before obtaining a work visa. In 2001 she obtained her green card, married Donald Trump in 2005 and became a US citizen in 2006.

The first lady earned her citizenship on an EB-1 visa, which is reserved for immigrants with ‘extraordinary ability’ and ‘sustained national and international acclaim.’

She is only the second-ever first lady to be born outside of the US and the first to become a naturalized US citizen.

To get Barron his dual citizenship, Melania likely had to file paperwork since Slovenian citizenship was not automatic. Both have kept their Slovenian passports even after Donald Trump became president.
