How many TERRORISTS will win the IMMIGRATION LOTTERY JACKPOT?

[spokeshave]

Each year, the Diversity Visa Lottery, as it is officially known, provides up to 50,000 randomly selected foreigners

This is insanity

Why not cancel this stupid program and re direct the funds to American citizens.

I wonder if Canadians were ever allowed to participate in the Green Card lottery? I briefly checked some years back (1990s), and found out that that was the case at that time.

I agree with the Washington Post .

The diversity auction is one of the strangest things in our already brae immigration boondoggle

It needs to go away

FWIW, these types of government weirdness are usually covers for fraud, corruption or political patronage

Leftist activists have campained for Americans to have no children, or to limit their children, for 40 years.

For 40 years, leftist politicians have pushed policies to bring in tens of millions of immigrants from third world countries.

On the surface, these policies seem diametrically opposed.

But if you wish to increase leftist votes, and decrease conservative votes, they make perfect sense.

"“The Diversity Lottery is plagued with fraud, advances no economic or humanitarian interest, and does not even deliver the diversity of its namesake,”

This is what the Diversity Lottery brings..this and Political Correctness:

The so-called “ideals” of the Statue of Liberty are the result of equating the later-added sonnet by Emma Lazarus with the actual meaning of the Statue.

There seems to be an awful lot of supposedly educated people who actually believe that “Give us your poor,” etcetera are part of the actual Statue.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Another Uniparty ploy to steal our country from us by flooding it with foreigners.

Many of these foreigners are openly hostile to Americans and our way of life.

Trump, on the basis of what happened in NYC yesterday, should cancel the “Diversity Lottery” outright. We don’t need 50,000 of anybodies let in here at this juncture, especially Muslims. Personally, I’d like to see ICE spend some time rounding up and deporting Muslims. Mexicans, do not represent terrorist for the most part.

[SIRTRIS]

Despite Trump, millions hope to win what could be the last U.S. green-card lottery That's all they tout... HOPE. And it's useless

[pgkdan]

This is absolutely one of the craziest things I have ever heard of. I have extremely low expectations for any program run by the federal government but this is even worse than I may have imagined.

[NormsRevenge]

20 minutes after hitting Submit,, winners are auctioning off their slots to the highest bidder on OBoy to any bidder, from any nation.

You know, who needs borders.. when Dems are looking for new ways to fleece the nation of its defenses.

" Each year, the Diversity Visa Lottery, as it is officially known, provides up to 50,000 randomly selected foreigners — fewer than 1 percent of those who enter the drawing — with permanent residency in the United States."

Just read that a couple times and let it sink in. Is it just me or is this so crazy on the surface I can't believe it's real. This is Codified russian roulette with the gun pointed at the heads of American citizens and America's national security. It's like having a drawing for random sex partners.

I never heard of this before last night and today I simply can't believe this has been going on in our country.

I think we need to look at any office holder that supported or voted for this madness. Name the names now. The American people need to know who would support such lunacy.

[Mr Radical]

More than 14 million people - maybe.
Around the world? Nope, English folks like me are barred from taking part. Racist or what?
