Iranians Win 4,453 'Diversity Visa' Applications to Immigrate to U.S.
Cnsnews ^ | October 14, 2011 | Matt Cover

The State Department has awarded 4,453 permanent resident "Diversity Visa" applications to would-be immigrants from Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism that was recently implicated in a plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States.

The lottery program for Diversity Visas awards prospective immigrants with the chance to obtain a permanent residency visa. The 4,453 prospective Iranian immigrants will still have to pursue their visa applications on their own, according to the State Department’s website.

To be eligible, applicants must have at least a high school education or two years of work within the previous five years at a job that requires at least two years of training.

Iran’s intelligence services have been implicated in a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States by bombing a restaurant or public place in Washington, D.C.

I am happy to see our State Department hard at work rectifying a very serious discrimination problem here in Maine.

Hard as it is to believe, my town does not have one Muslim Lesbian. Not a damned 1! How the hell are we supposed to compete in sophisticated international markets? There was a place that had an espresso machine, but until we have a gay Muslim outreach program, we will never be another Seattle.

Perhaps Stimulus Funds could be used to get a circuit-riding Muslim Lesbian who could cover several towns trying to survive these harsh economic times. Hell, we would even settle for an Asian Transgendered person. (We do have a cross-dresser, thank you.)

“...How did you get into FR? ...”

I snuck over the southern border, following a pack of crazed dwarf albanian haberdashers...and believe me, it was NO picnic...

Still picking cactus needles outta my Byootoks...and polyester leisure suits do NOT reflect the heat very well, lemme tell ya...

They are indeed anti-America. Our President and those in his administration and far too many in the House and Senate and State Houses are, IMHO, sappers within the perimeter and doing all in their power to destroy America and our traditional way of life...meaning life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness according to the Judaeo-Christian moral ethic and fundamental values this nation was founded upon and has prospered upon.

In short, they are progressive marxist ideologs whose "fundamental change" of America means destroying it and the way of life as we and our fathers and forefathers have known it.

in 2012 we have perhaps the best opportunity in decades to significantly turn it back and set it on its proper and intended course. I pray God in Heave that we do not let the opportunity pass, or be taken from us by the scheming and manipulations of those we are fighting against.

Iranian Students Associations Voice Support for Occupy Wall Street Uprisings

A large number of Iranian Muslim Students Associations in an open letter to American students on Tuesday voiced support for Wall Street protests and anti-capitalism movement in the US.

In their letter, Islamic associations of 52 universities from across Iran praised the American students for their brave protest against the United States' unjust economic and political system, which has shaken the pillars of the White House.

In their letter, the Iranian students blasted the US hegemonic policies in the region and in the world.

Come Jan, 2013, the State Department needs to be cleaned out, top to bottom. I understand there are still some Clinton hold-overs still there.

Probably none. The visa lottery is only for "under-represented groups".

i'd guess scots are a very small group in the US

i know quite a few from northern europe as well as scotland that would immigrate to the US given a chance.

eastern europeans? definitely.

socialistic western europeans? less likely

I don't know, since Scotland is a fairly small country it wouldn't take very many for them to not be "under-represented" in the US. And if they counted the Scots-Irish, they'd be very well represented.

But the real purpose of the Visa Lottery is to bring in more people from Third World nations, so there are probably few white majority nations that would qualify for that PC, white guilt lottery. Maybe Russia and a few other of the old USSR nations where few could leave for many decades.

That seems high, what was the total amount handed out each year?

High? There shouldn't be any unless they have the skills we need or a small fortune and/or experience in starting a business while we still have the Great Recession with huge unemployment and underemployment numbers.

And they are growing. More insanity from the State Department.

BTW, the State Department, surely with Hillary's blessing, sent ex-con Marion Jones, the disgraced athlete was stripped of her Olympic medals and later played in the WNBA, to represent the US on diplomatic visits to Serbia and Croatia.
