A man charged with joining the Islamic State (ISIS) as a sniper and firearms instructor originally came to the United States through the “Diversity Visa Lottery,” a program responsible for bringing more than half a million randomly chosen foreign nationals to the country in a single decade.
Ruslan Maratovich Asainov, 42-years-old, was charged last week in a Brooklyn, New York, federal court for aiding ISIS in 2013 when he allegedly traveled to Turkey and Syria to fight for the terrorist group.
Asainov, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency has confirmed, first arrived in the U.S. through the Diversity Visa Lottery in February 1999.
The Visa Lottery randomly gives out about 55,000 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, 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 can later obtain green cards to permanently stay in the U.S. and after living in the country for five years can become American citizens and begin bringing their extended relatives to the country, a system known as “chain migration.”
Asainov, in September 2006, was allowed to become a naturalized U.S. citizen.
The alleged ISIS sniper is just the latest foreign national that has successfully entered the country through the legal immigration system, and specifically the Visa Lottery. In 2017, Uzbek national Sayfullo Saipov allegedly murdered eight people after mowing them down with his car in the Tribeca neighborhood in New York...

Or more simply put: you prolly have to “pay somebody off” before you get your visa lottery.
Another horrible blunder by Bill Clinton’s Immigration chief, Doris Meisner. She let all the 9/11 terrorists into the country too.
