Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Rep. Stephanie Herseth (D-SD) have introduced H.R. 1430, the bipartisan Security and Fairness Enhancement (SAFE) for America Act of 2007, to end the visa lottery. Similar legislation was passed by a broad, bipartisan majority (273 - 148) of bipartisan members in the House during the 109th Congress as an amendment to the House's enforcement-only bill (H.R. 4437). Send this fax to your Republican Representative asking him/her to cosponsor H.R. 1430.
DETAILS:
The visa lottery is a program that each year gives another 50,000 green cards to people without any regard to their humanitarian need or to what they might offer the country or to their having any family connections here.
The lottery is a program that promotes massive illegal migration by people who think they may some day win the lottery and be allowed to stay in the United States. The late Barbara Jordan, as Chair of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform, recommended the elimination of the visa lottery. A 2004 hearing of the House Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims examined the visa lottery program and its susceptibility to fraud and abuse. At the hearing, witness Jan Ting, professor of law at Temple University, said that the lottery program is unfair because spouses and minor children of lawful permanent residents often have to wait years for a visa, while the U.S. hands out 50,000 visas a year purely on the basis of a random lottery. Ting also noted that the lottery discriminates on the basis of ethnicity and race.
