The diversity visa lottery's history: Invented to help the Irish now under attack
President Trump  said  he  has begun dismantling the diversity visa lottery Wednesday  hours after blaming the program and one of its sponsors for Tuesday’s deadly terrorist attack in New York City.
“I am today starting the process of terminating the diversity lottery program ”  Trump  told reporters at the White House during a meeting with  his  Cabinet. “I am going to ask Congress to immediately initiate work to get rid of this program.”
The president’s vow to dismantle the program  better known as the green-card lottery  came hours after he claimed the attacker came to the United States through the program and singled out one of its original sponsors  Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.). “A Chuck Schumer beauty ”  Trump  tweeted of the lottery Wednesday morning.

More than 30 years later  what was once openly pitched as a way to aid the Irish has now evolved into a global operation that each year brings up to 50 000 people to the United States  most of  them  from Africa or Eastern Europe.
Now Trump  who has long called for a “merit-based” immigration system  has endorsed a bill that would kill the lottery.
