Top Visa Lottery Countries for 2010
Center for Immigration Studies ^ | July 16, 2009 | Jessica Vaughan

Last week the State Department announced the lucky winners in this year’s Visa Lottery, who will be arriving in communities near you by September, 2010. Fourteen percent of the winners (13,988 people) hail from countries of special interest in the war on terror. Here are the top twelve winning countries:

1. Nigeria 6,006

2. Bangladesh 6,001

3. Ukraine 5,499

4. Ethiopia 5,200

5. Kenya 4,619

6. Egypt 4,201

7. Uzbekistan 4,059

8. Sierra Leone 3,898

9. Cameroon 3,719

10. Morocco 3,124

11. Turkey 2,826

12. Iran 2,773

Approximately one-half of these winners will pursue their application to completion and eventually receive green cards. View the complete list.

The visa lottery serves no purpose other than to increase immigration for immigration’s sake. It offers green cards to people who offer no particular skills and who lack close family ties here. Fraud is rampant. It creates demand in countries where there was no demand before. It has been exploited by organized crime groups – several years ago, a crime syndicate in Eastern Europe hacked into a university ID card system and manufactured electronic entry forms, complete with photos, unbeknown to the individual students. Then it hijacked the winner notification letters at the post office, contacted the winners, and provided them with spouses to accompany them to the United States, where the lucky winners were coerced into working for the syndicate here. It’s not hard to see why this program has had a target on its back for some time, and few will mourn its passing if Congress ever gets around to ending it.

One of the most beautiful women I’ve ever been pursued by was Turkish. But she looked like Irish and Swedish.

Probably. Well, of course, I’m only half white, but I’m from a country ineligible for the Lottery - and it pisses me off to no end, as I’d be a far better citizen than any of those people.

Seriously with thousands of Americans being laid off their jobs each month, one would think (common sense) that bringing more competition into the nation for existing jobs is counterproductive and unfair to those Americans desperate for jobs that will likely go to non-Americans.

Hiring Foreign Workers Top

Foreign labor certification programs permit U.S. employers to hire foreign workers on a temporary or permanent basis to fill jobs essential to the economy.

The Department of Labor issues labor certifications for permanent and temporary employment under the following programs:

Looks like our government thinks cars burning in the streets, as the Muslims do in Europe, is fun summertime entertainment.

America committed the sin of being the greatest nation on the planet. For that she must be destroyed from within by having her native population diluted with non-assimilable Third World castoffs. We already have one Kenyan too many!

The Philippines is one of the countries ineligible. There is a formula they use to determine the visa lottery eligible countries.
