In the wake of the botched Christmas Day terror attack, members of Congress are worried that extremists could use the State Department's diversity visa lottery as a means of getting to the U.S.
The State Department is planning to welcome thousands of immigrants from terror-watch list countries into the United States this year through a "diversity visa" lottery -- a giant legal loophole some lawmakers say is a "serious national security threat" that has gone unchecked for years.
Ostensibly designed to increase ethnic diversity among immigrants, the program invites in thousands of poorly educated laborers with few job skills -- and that's only the beginning of its problems, according to lawmakers and government investigations.
"There are a lot of holes in this program in terms of security and in terms of fraud," said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who has written legislation aimed at killing the lottery.
Now, in the wake of the botched Christmas Day terror attack that emerged from Nigeria and Yemen, members of Congress are worried the system could be vulnerable to radicals looking to "play" the visa lottery as a means of reaching the U.S.
Here's how it works: to avoid getting stuck with 3.5 million others on a visa waiting list, hundreds of thousands of people put their names into the separate diversity lottery, which rewards countries that typically see low levels of immigration to the U.S. Immediate family are allowed to join lottery winners.
Countries like China, where lots of immigrants originate, are excluded.
Then a computer in Kentucky picks names at random from the qualified applicants, who need only a high school degree or two years at a job that requires two years of experience. The program accounts for about 10 percent of all immigrant visas each year.

We are slitting our own throats. This needs to change.
They need there troops to fight the American citizen. Islamitization!
I think Teddy had something to do with the no-skills visas. Most countries require some skillz to get immigration visas.
Why would we have an official policy to increase ethnic diversity?

Yes, he was the primary sponsor. There is no end to the damage and harm that fat bastard murderer did to our country.
Ostensibly designed to increase ethnic diversity among immigrants.............
Our immigration laws are a disaster. We are not only having lotteries, but we are favoring families, even if they are uneducated, and from criminal countries.
This is only the legal part.
The Rats don’t care they want welfare state clients and voters down the road. They mistakenly think that their elite lifestyle will never be challenged.
I will say one thing for the Iranians, Syrians, Lebanese,
and Palestinians that are here - these do tend to work
and be productive. Plus some of their kids will join the
armed forces and contribute languiage skills. So, it may not be all bad
Ah, you must be talking about Teddy K.
Wow...this administration can talk out of its mouth AND ass at the same time!
