Calling for fairer visa laws, one crusading New York politician has taken the immigration debate straight to the catwalk, reports ny1news.

Congressman Anthony Weiner is reportedly pushing legislation to make it easier for foreign fashion models to come to the United States for work.

Weiner says models are lumped into a category that forces them to compete with computer experts and doctors for highly-specialized visas.

The rumored mayoral candidate says a change in the immigration law will make it easier for designers and photographers to do their shoots in the city. Weiner's proposal would allow models to apply for the same visas that entertainers and athletes get.
