Trump to ask Congress to end green-card lottery program (video)
Calling terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov “an animal,” President Donald Trump said he will ask Congress to end the immigration lottery program, which he blamed for allowing Saipov to enter the United States. “I am today starting the process of terminating the diversity lottery program," Trump said at a Cabinet meeting. I'm going to ask Congress to immediately initiate work to get rid of this program, diversory [sic] and diversity lottery. Diversity lottery. Sounds nice, it's not good. Not good. It hasn't been good, and we've been against it.” Trump said his administration would seek to end what he called "chain migration," and institute "a merit-based program, where people come into our country based on merit."
