Business Progressives Promote Visa Lottery After Jihad Attack
Saifullah Saipov
Progressives and business groups are defending the visa lottery program which invited  Islamic believer Saifullah Saipov  into the United States before  he  apparently murdered eight cyclists in New York on November 1.
A native of Uzbekistan  â Saipov  had been in the United States since 2010  and given that all green card categories are screened equally  it is highly unlikely that the fact of  his  status as a green card holder under the Diversity Visa Lottery is related to  his  subsequent terrorist act â said a statement from the business-first advocacy group  the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Polls show the public opposes the visa-lottery program because it provides green cards to unscreened  unskilled foreigners who lower wages  reduce social solidarity and reduce civic security. For example   Saipov  was picked by the lottery  and then admitted in 2010 even though  his  first name means âSword of Allah.â
The visa lottery awards green cards to 50 000 people chosen at random from countries around the world. Winners are screened for health problems and criminal records but are otherwise accepted regardless of their character  job skills or ideology. For example   Saipov  was accepted from Uzbekistan in 2010  despite  his  faith in Islamâs hostile ideology  and  his  lack of skills. Once in the United States   he  worked as the trucking industry  where wages for Americans and immigrants have been relentlessly pushed down by the huge wage of immigration since the 1990s.
