ADVERTISEMENTPresident Donald Trump unleashed a Twitter barrage Wednesday blaming the Electronic Diversity Visa Lottery program for the deadly attack that struck lower Manhattan one day earlier, and demanding immigration reforms based on merit. Trump said the suspect in Tuesday’s attack, 29-year-old Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, used the visa lottery program to legally emigrate from Uzbekistan in 2010. Trump is backing a bill that would end the diversity visa lottery program and cut other forms of family-based routes to come to the country legally, with the explicit goal of halving legal immigration. The terrorist came into our country through what is called the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program," a Chuck Schumer beauty. Although Senate Democrats agreed to eliminate the diversity visa lottery program as part of the 2013 comprehensive immigration reform bill, there is no consensus within the party.
