(CNSNews.com) –The State Department has awarded 1,011 special “diversity visas” allowing Yemeni nationals to immigrate to the United States since 2000, the year 17 U.S. sailors were killed when the U.S.S. Cole was attacked by terrorists in the Yemeni port of Aden. The "diversity visas" are designed to encourage immigration from countries that do not otherwise send significant numbers of immigrants to the United States.
The State Department roster of all countries whose nationals have received "diversity visas" to immigrate to the United States in 2010, for example, shows that 2 of these immigrants will be from Luxembourg, 3 from the Solomon Islands, 4 from French Guiana, 5 from Reunion, 6 from Cape Verde, 7 from Malta, 8 from Guinea-Bissau, 9 from Comoros, 10 from Suriname--and 72 from Yemen.
That the U.S. would encourage immigration from Yemen during the past decade is of interest because of the terrorist problem in that country.
Yemen has long been a focus of U.S. security concerns because of terrorist activities there, including not only the 2000 bombing of the U.S.S. Cole but also a 2008 bombing attack on the U.S. embassy. Recently, the concerns about terrorism eminating from Yemen has intensified because Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab, the Nigerian terrorist who attempted to detonate explosive underwear on a Delta Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day, reportedly joined an al Qaeda affiliate in Yemen and was groomed there for his would-be suicide attack.
In his Saturday radio address, President Obama himself specifically pointed to Yemen as the country of origin from Abdulmuttalab's terrorist plot, and on Sunday the State Department closed the U.S. embassy in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa for fear of a terrorist attack.

Because that’s just what America needs, more Mohammadans.
Seems it matters NOT who sits in the White House.
The efforts to destroy OUR country are BIPARTISAN.
Won’t comment.
why do we encourage this madness?
I’m all for “diversity visas” so long as they ...
1) live in D.C.
2) across the street from the State Department
3) and they make their living babysitting for members of Congress
Yes, why? is there money in it? Are there votes for rotten politicians in it?
What is the reason for destroying our country?
This destruction is by design aka Saudi money. The idiots are so manipulated by TV.
Treason is rampant in Washington DC - Rome R Us
Ping.
But...but...I don’t understand. Oh...wait, never mind.
I refuse to believe this is just “innocent,” naive, goo-goo liberalism. The administration has an agenda to foster terrorism at home to justify clamping down on Americans. RINO’s are in cahoots.
So now we're begging them to come here?
Un****in’ believable!
The federal government is the clear enemy of America.
I really wonder what the straw that breaks the camel’s back is going to be, because there is so much straw on that back right now...
It seems to me that this government wants attacks to occur, and it wants them to be successful. They are openly inviting them.
It would seem that foolishness cuts across both sides
Let’s just put a gigantic billboard up on the eastern US seaboard that says “Please come over here and kill us...we’re too stupid to live”.
That treasonous bunch of SOB’s.......the State dept., I mean........
“we’re too stupid to live”
Sure looks that way
