Chain Migration and the Diversity Visa Program: Legal Immigration at Its Worst - The American Conservative

New York City Mayor Eric Adam ’s remarks that migrants will “destroy” NYC foreshadows the coming battle over legal immigration reform.

David Rothkopf : Conservatives can win the immigration debate when they focus on how many migrants should be admitted and how those should be selected.

He says the current system does not promote assimilation, does not select migrants for skills, training, or youth, and does not serve any real U.S. national interest except perhaps growing the country's aggregate population.

Conservatives must expose how the extended family reunification concept of the INA is an anachronistic drag on forging new Americans .

Conservatives must also work to end the diversity visa program, another task where we have failed in past past past .

Conservatives need to stress the corruption, criminality and criminality of the DV program.

Immigration romantics in the U.S. need to be disabused about the diversity visa scamming, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: Visa fraud is perpetrated in the name of the United States .

He says it is a corruption multiplier and not worth the theoretical diversity contribution of 50,000 yearly migrants.
