Former first lady Melania Trump made a rare public appearance Friday to deliver remarks at the National Archives Naturalization Ceremony, where she said the pathway to citizenship in the U.S. is “arduous.”

“My personal experience of traversing the challenges of the immigration process opened my eyes to the harsh realities these people face, including you, who try to become U.S. citizens,” Trump said.
Trump said she was “devoted” to the process but “certainly was not an attorney.” She said was “fortunate” to receive legal counsel.
