500,000 Foreign Nationals Win ‘Visa Lottery’ Since 2005

More than half a million foreign nationals have entered the United States since 2005 with the visa lottery program which allowed a recent New York terror suspect to come to the U.S.

Roughly 509,700 foreign nationals have entered the U.S. between 2005 to 2015 using the program, not counting their spouses, children and chain-migration relatives, a Breitbart News analysis reveals.

The U.S. has even brought in 25,976 co-nationals of suspected jihadi Sayfullo Saipov, despite their country of Uzbekistan being listed by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency as a terrorist hotspot.

The Diversity Visa Lottery gives out 50,000 visas every year to foreign nationals from a multitude of countries, including those with known terrorist problems – such as Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Yemen, and Uzbekistan.

Requirements for foreign nationals to win the visa lottery are low, with the foreign national only needing a high school degree and two years of work experience. Despite the weak prerequisites needed to obtain the visa, foreign nationals obtain green cards to permanently stay in the U.S. and after living in the country for five years can become U.S. citizens and begin bringing their extended relatives to the country, a system known as “chain migration.”

This overall count does not include the foreign family members, spouses, children and extended relatives — otherwise known as chain migrants — brought to the U.S. by foreign nationals who won the visa lottery.

Truth is we have allowed in a huge number of immigrants, both legal and illegal.

One in five people living in America at this time is now a foreign born immigrant and assimilation of the new arrivals is becoming problematic

The majority of these immigrants are being supported by our social welfare system and are not contributing members of American society.

There has been very little diversity in the new arrivals. Most come from Muslim countries and from South of the border.

Most are uneducated and illiterate even in their own native languages and as such they are totally unprepared to participate in a modern , high tech economy .

Because of their illiteracy and lack of eduction, they are and will continue to be a welfare burden on society .

Most show a total lack of the desire to assimilate into American culture that previous waves of immigrants were eager to accomplish. In fact, many of our recent immigrants are aggressive and intimidating in their attempts to impose their culture on America and the American people.

We need to shift our immigration focus to highly skilled peopled successful people
