President Trump To Push An End To The Diversity-Oriented Visa Lottery Program



Daily Mail: BREAKING NEWS: I'd consider sending New York terror suspect to Guantanamo says Trump as he tells Congress to get rid of diversity lottery that gave Uzbek national a green card

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he would consider sending Sayfullo Saipov, the Uzbek national who plowed a rented truck through a bike lane full of cyclists and pedestrians on Tuesday, to the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

'I would certainly consider that, yes. I would certainly consider that. Send him to Gitmo,' Trump said.

The president also declared that he is already in the process of terminating the State Department's diversity-oriented visa lottery program, which granted Saipov entry into the United States in 2010.

WNU Editor: The U.S. has enough problems with crime and violence. But when people take advantage of the immigration diversity lottery system to enter the U.S. .... and then conduct this type of massacre .... there is going to be a breaking point one day when it comes to who the U.S. will decide to enter the country. As for Sayfullo Saipov being sent to Guantanamo .... White House says Saipov should be considered ‘enemy combatant’ (Washington Times) .... the legal barriers and the unwillingness of many in Congress to change the law will not make this happen.

Anon,

You are doing your mendacious best. But debasement becomes you.

"In December 2005, the United States House of Representatives voted 273–148 to add an amendment to the border enforcement bill H.R. 4437 abolishing the DV. Opponents of the lottery said it was susceptible to fraud and was a way for terrorists to enter the country. The Senate never passed the bill.

In March 2007, Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) introduced H.R. 1430, which would eliminate the Diversity Visa program. In June 2007, the U.S. House passed H.R. 2764 to eliminate funding for the program, and the Senate did likewise in September.[19] However, the final version of this bill with amendments, signed into law on December 26, 2007, did not include the removal of funds for the program. Several attempts have been made over the last several years to eliminate the lottery. Although H.R. 2764 was an appropriation bill and could only cut funds for the lottery during one fiscal year, this was the first time that both the House and the Senate passed a bill to halt the Diversity Visa program. H.R. 2764"
