Diversity is not our strength, it's literally killing us.

Breaking: TRUMP CANCELS Diversity Lottery Program – NYC Killer Sponsored 23 PEOPLE Since Coming to US! November 1, 2017 by Jim Hoft 584 Comments On Tuesday Islamist Sayfullo Saipov, a 29=year-old immigrant from Uzbekistan, murdered eight people in a truck attack in New York City. Saipov entered the US under the “Diversity Visa program” in 2010. The immigration program was the brainchild of none other than Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Today President Trump called for an end of the Diversity Lottery Program. President Trump also called for an end to chain migration. Sayfullo Saipov reportedly brought in 23...

Investigators descended overnight on the New Jersey neighborhood of the terrorist who went on a rampage in a rental truck along a riverfront bike path near the World Trade Center, killing eight people and injuring 11 others. Cops surrounded a block in Paterson, the hometown of Sayfullo Saipov, 29, an Uzbek immigrant who was shot by a cop when he jumped out of the truck brandishing fake but realistic-looking pistols and shouting “Allahu Akbar!” Authorities in Passaic County also cordoned off an area that includes a mosque, some storefronts and several other residences, as well as a parking lot at...

As I write this, a few facts are starting to trickle out about Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, the man who committed the terrorist attack in Manhattan using a rented Home Depot truck on October 31, killing eight and injuring nearly a dozen more innocent people. (See, for instance, here and here.) First, we are told that he is Uzbek, having arrived in the United States from Uzbekistan "legally" in 2010. Second, some outlets have suggested that he may be married with two children, but I haven't seen any multiple verifications of that. Third, he appears to have been a Uber driver...

The Diversity Visa Lottery program was in the news last week after it was revealed that Sayfullo Saipov, the Paterson resident accused of masterminding that Manhattan terrorist attack, came here from Uzbekistan on such a visa. The program hands out 50,000 green cards per year to randomly chosen people from all over the world, none of whom have to prove they have anything more than the equivalent of a high-school diploma. I have always been critical of such programs not because of any potential for terrorism but for the simple reason that the United States does not need unskilled workers....

The Justice Department moved Monday to strip citizenship from four Somali immigrants who prosecutors say lied about being a family, and managed to defraud the Diversity Visa Lottery program that Republicans are aiming to nix. The government says one woman, Fosia Abdi Adan, won the lottery in 2000 and then brought in two other people as her husband and children, using a fake marriage certificate. The prosecutions come a week after the Diversity Lottery was in the news as the immigration program used by the suspect in last week’s terrorist truck attack in New York City. “The current immigration system...

Chuck Schumer is a verbal escape artist, but when it comes to Sayfullo Saipov’s entry into the United States, the New York senator is trapped. The Diversity Visa Lottery program that brought Saipov to America was created by Chuck Schumer, no matter what his pals in the media want you to believe. After President Trump made sure Americans knew who was responsible for the program, Arizona Senator Jeff Flake jumped in to help Schumer escape from his legislative record. But Flake’s defense of Schumer deserves particular scrutiny. Flake argued that the Gang of 8 amnesty bill that Schumer and...
