    The visa lottery has low eligibility standards and is widely available. The State Dept. Inspector General's Office has observed that it is easily exploited by terrorists, including by recent #nycbombing suspect, who used the program to gain entrance to U.S.

        What about skilled immigrants stuck in green card backlogs and their kids? Can you help to resolve the green card backlog issue? Support #HR392 and bring it to vote. This bill has more than 300 co-sponsors. #7MonthsVs70Years #H4DREAMERS @SIIA_US

        Our government collects information on all of us, but you don't flag those people and see if he is building a bomb? If you know people are exploiting it, I feel like you should take some responsibility for it then.

        No kidding! @realDonaldTrump has been talking about this since the campaign & most recently after the NY attack. So, get busy, do your legislative job and get rid of this ridiculous lottery along with chain migration!
