Yemen is urging the U.S. government to take in dozens of Yemenis who traveled to Malaysia in recent months expecting to immigrate to the United States, only to find themselves stranded by President Donald Trump's temporary travel ban.
The Supreme Court ruling sharply limited the number of people affected by the ban. Largely unreported has been the fate of one group - thousands of citizens of the six countries who won a randomized U.S. government lottery last year that enabled them to apply for a so-called green card granting them permanent residence in the United States.
In a stroke of bad luck for the lottery winners, the 90-day travel ban will expire on Sept. 27, just three days before their eligibility for the green cards expires. Given the slow pace of the immigration process, the State Department will likely struggle to issue their visas in time.
It is unclear exactly how many lottery winners are now caught up in the travel ban, which affects Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, but in 2015, more than 10,000 people from the six countries won the lottery, and 4,000 of them eventually got visas.

The United States is not a LOTTERY game.
Stranded works for me. GO Trump!
We don’t need any Yemenis, we filled up on Somalis.
Send them home.
No golden tickets for anyone.
Yemenis are on par with Pakistan.
Send them to Europe they love refugees!!!!
Send them to Europe they love refugees!!!!
Back to Yemen with ye!
We have enough home-grown feces to deal with.
Send them back to Yemen.....it’s not like they are stateless.
Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan - these are the most violent, corrupt, illiterate, inbred places in the world. And yes - their culture travels with them.
These people, for the most part, should not be allowed out of their own countries, much less into the United States.
No, let them stay in Malaysia. No more Islamic terrorists to the US. If the truly renounce Islam and Sharia, maybe consider them for temporary asylum while waiting to relocate elsewhere.
Hey - Why doesn’t Yemen take them?
“And yes - their culture travels with them.
These people, for the most part, should not be allowed out of their own countries, much less into the United States.”
Amen to that. I couldn’t have said it better.
Charlie and The Jihadi Factory.
That “random” drawing immigrant process needs to be flushed down the toilet and NEVER resurrected again. It only serves as a means for Ted Kennedy to continue to degrade our nation from the grave.
2015...2015...Why was 2015 significant?
Oh, that's right, our first...and last mohammaden pRESIDENT and his minions were still going full bore jihad against these United States.
I left two amusement parks recently because they were overrun with foreign born Muslims. They don’t even try to assimilate or “make nice.” I have a deep loathing hatred for these invading cockroaches.
You’re Obama Outta Luck, Big Media.
I remember when you cared NOTHING for stranded Yazidis because they were Christian.
You’re right but i have to say its refreshing to have a government ask. So many we try to deport and can’t because their countries won’t take them back. This is the opposite but at least they’re doing it the right way.
