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.
