WASHINGTON – First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday made a second visit to meet undocumented child migrants as the United States struggles to contain a border crisis and a week after her first was overshadowed by wearing a controversial jacket.
“I want to thank you for all your hard work,” she told border and immigration officials at a Customs and Border Patrol facility in Tucson, Arizona.
“I know how difficult and dangerous your daily jobs are,” the first lady added. “I am here to support you and help any way I can.”
The 48-year-old mother of one and former model, herself an immigrant from Slovenia, played her choice of clothes safe on Thursday, dressing monochrome in white pants and a black top.

In Tucson, Arizona, she visited a Customs and Border Patrol facility and had a roundtable discussion with Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the US Marshals Service and a local rancher on the situation on the ground.
President Donald Trump was last week forced into a U-turn on separating migrant children from their parents, but about 2,000 children remained split from their parents, according to official figures released last weekend.
The crisis saw his wife make a rare foray into politics, stopping short of criticizing her husband, but saying she hated to see families separated and calling for bipartisan immigration reform to fix the issue.
