New York Terror Suspect on Diversity Lottery Visa

by Mark Angelides

The man who authorities believe to be responsible for the New York terror attack that left eight deaths and many more injured was apparently in the US because he “won” one of 50,000 places in the American “Diversity Lottery Visa” program. Not only is this system insulting to all Americans, but it clearly does not leave America safer.
Until this morning, many people in the US may have been unaware of the Diversity Lottery that is carried out every year and which brings in up to 50,000 extra people from overseas who have no particular skill set other than the fact that they are not Americans. But now everyone knows, and the left are backtracking.
Even the very idea that the US requires more “diversity” is insulting. It suggests that there is not enough difference in the gene pool and as such needs to be “enriched” by outside help. It is worth noting that most of the world’s “non-white majority” nations have this system or feel the need to make their countries “les brown” or “less black.”
The alleged terrorist, Sayfullo Saipov, is now 29-years-old. He came to America from Uzbekistan in 2010, and little has been released so far to indicate what he has been doing (other than working as Uber driver for the last six months). He was granted entry through the Diversity Lottery. Has it been worth it?
As far back as 2011, critics have been arguing that this particular visa scheme in no way benefits American people or American interests. In fact, in the RAISE act being put before the House by Senator Tom Cotton, there is a call for the Lottery t be completely scrapped. Senator Cotton said:
“The diversity lottery serves no discernible humanitarian or economic interest,” Cotton explained to Breitbart News. “It is a policy that has far outlived its usefulness and it really doesn’t even serve diversity since Europe is one of the primary uses of it. Even in past efforts at amnesty-first comprehensive immigration reform like we saw in 2013 and 2007, most people agree we should eliminate the diversity lottery. I think it’s a policy that has far outlived its usefulness if it ever had any utility and it’s time to eliminate the diversity lottery.”
It does nothing other than afford people with dubious histories the chance to come to America. It is all very well arguing that immigration is good for a country (in terms of GDP it likely is, but for GDP per Capita, the figures are not so good), but that is when it is managed, vetted migration. The Policy Director of the Center for Immigration Studies, Janice Kephart, gave testimony to Congress 6 years ago in which she said that the “Diversity Lottery” is a major potential threat to security. She said:
“The Diversity Visa Program is an unfortunate blind spot in our immigration system that has outlived whatever purpose it might have had. The applicants for these 50,000 ‘visa lottery’ immigration slots require few skills. Neither their qualifications nor identity can be properly vetted. The program does not know, really, who these applicants are or their true purpose in coming to the United States. The program is a national security vulnerability and has been used by terrorists and organized criminals to not only enter the United States but to bring others in as well.”
So everyone seems to know how dangerous and risky these types of visas can be, yet no one acted. Well now they have a reason to act…Let’s hope they do.

  1. There are multiple reasons why these programs exist, and none of them benefit average joe on the street.
    -The government and their banker owners requires constant “growth” to help pay for all the debt, and if it’s not for paying it off, it is for increasing the debt. Most of these immigrants have zero debt, and are easily loaded up with it.
    -We are in the final stages of “democracy” where the people see it’s actually a soft dictatorship and no longer buy what the government is selling, the bullshit is easy to see and people get upset by it and want to do something about it.
    -The government can use these programs to bring in terrorists, train them, and arm them for the day the people are sick and tired of the corruption and wasted money and decide to fight back. They can release the hounds so to speak. Anyone that doesn’t understand this needs to see that ISIS is a “Made in the USA” creation, with help from Israel and the jewish Saudi royal family.
    -It drives up rent and house prices. Great if you are an investor, I hear people from my state wanting to DOUBLE the population here….those calling for it are tied up in the real estate industry etc. All that does it put good families out on the streets and force people onto government programs, which is the long term aim of the government under communism. No personal freedom where everyone either works for the government, or a big multinational company for pennies.
    I have no problem with immigration when it comes to people marrying someone from overseas and bringing them home. That is none of the governments business. Bringing in skilled workers does two things, it eliminates those jobs for the people already here, and it drains their home country of IQ points leading to destabilization down the road. If all the smart people leave, the country is left with dumb people.
    Bringing in unskilled “lottery” people is just pure madness. There are already too many unskilled people floating around due to a crappy education system which does not encourage people to do what they love, or are good at. It force feeds people gibberish that most will never use.
    The new development over the past few years has been that the dream of owning a house is now gone for the majority of people. Once a man could work, wife could stay at home and raise the kids, they could have a house and a car and live quite comfortably. That same job today puts him in a “low income bracket” where he needs partial government payments just to survive, even though working full time in a decent job……definitely can’t afford a house, and has two 20 year old cars! (That’s me) So they bring in people to compete, keeping wages LOW. These new immigrants then get together in little enclaves in the suburbs and drive out people that are not like them. That’s just human nature. Governments love it because it creates work for them, and they need to borrow more, so bankers love it too.
    We must get away from the constant need for “growth”, it is destroying everything we love about our countries.

  2. it doesn’t get any better than this.
    when i heard “the diversity lottery visa” mentioned, i thought it was some kind of joke.
    it sounded like the kind of thing used to ridicule the open turnstile for foreign invaders.
    little did i realized it really existed and now has fatal consequences.
    how’s that for “extremely well vetted” as claimed by the obama administration.

  3. And He ate a pizza and drank a Coke too. So what? Try Him like a common criminal. No Martyrdom for Him. Put him on trial like any other murderer. Let the USA Justice system work as intended. That should keep him from being a so called “hero” for the cause. Whatever that was anyway. Treat this killer like We treated Manson or Dahmer. No Politicizing of Him for others to emulate. MAGA!

    • Why didn’t the police kill him? You only need to watch cop block videos to see the hundreds of people get killed for “crimes” like Jay walking, or “not complying”….here we have a guy IN THE ACT OF TERROR, and they didn’t just kill him? Now he will cost millions to process.
