"Can We End the Crazy Diversity Visa Lottery Yet?"

[TheAmerican]

The Diversity Visa (DV) program, to take just one glaring example of government insanity, is still going.

On October 1, the State Department opened the annual DV random lottery to applicants from around the world. Yes, it's completely random like a Powerball drawing. Up to 55,000 lucky winners will snag permanent residency visas (green cards), which put them on the path to American citizenship ahead of millions of other foreigners patiently waiting to come to this country.

The green card lotto winners' spouses and unmarried children under 21 all get golden tickets into the country, too, no matter where they were born.

Illegal aliens are eligible if a legal family member wins the jackpot. Applicants don't even need a high school education. No outstanding abilities, training or job skills are necessary. A handful of countries are excluded if they no longer qualify as "underrepresented." But if you come from a terror-sponsoring or terror-friendly nation -- such as Iran, Syria, Sudan, North Korea and more than a dozen officially designated terror enablers on the State Department's list -- no worries. Thousands from these breeding grounds for jihad will walk through our front doors.


"Consular officers at six of the posts reviewed -- Accra (Ghana), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Dhaka (Bangladesh), Kathmandu (Nepal), Lagos (Nigeria) and Warsaw (Poland) -- reported that the availability of fake documents, or genuine documents with false information, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and passports, presented significant challenges when verifying DV applicants' identities and the relationship between the principle DV applicants and their spouse and dependents," the GAO reported.

Never knew about this program. Good stuff. They need to make more spots available.

Why? I fail to see the benefit to the US from importing uneducated or unskilled workers and their families. We already have enough useless folks here without having to import more wholesale from the Third World in the name of some false ideal. We should make it easier to import people with something to bring to the table beyond skin color.

You fail to see things because you dont think for yourself. This country was built on uneducated and unskilled workers. Here is a tip for you. Everyone that is skilled was at one point unskilled.
