Congressman Keith Self (TX-03) introduced a bill to repeal the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery.
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery program offers permanent residence to up to 55,000 applicants annually from countries with historically lower levels of immigration to the US, many of them in Africa.
A California judge ruled the U.S. State Department must reinstate the program after the Trump administration had suspended it last December after a Portuguese national who received a visa through the program was suspected of killing four people in two separate shootings in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
“We cannot allow activist judges to dictate our immigration policy,” said Congressman Self. “The American people elected Donald Trump and this Republican Congress to put America first. That means securing our borders and ending failed immigration policies. We cannot allow liberal judges to force the administration to continue a failed immigration program.”
This law has promoted the balkanization of America. Diversity is not our strength.
Keith Self is a great congressman.
If the law requires this lottery be ran, then this ruling is correct.
If its at will, then the judge is wrong and can go pound sand.
The Immigration debacle allowed migrants to use fake names, fraud, ballot manipulation, and other illegal activities tied to USAID and government officials—both Democratic and Republican. This should never have been permitted.
Minnesota—importing a large third-world population that effectively solidifies the Democratic bloc in that state— enables massive fraud on a scale comparable to the GDP of some countries—should be treated as an act of treason against the United States.
This is not what the Founders envisioned when they wrote the Constitution. We cannot allow our country to turn into France, Germany, Italy, UK and other European nations that allowed third world migrants to completely take over.
Immigrants way of life is simply incompatible with the principles our nation was founded on.
George Bush? Ay Chihuahua.
The “diversity lottery” is a bad idea and I hope Rep. Self’s bill (repealing it) passes.
