lttllace - 2017-11-01 8:23 AM So funny how people grab one quote from DT's twitter (that he got from Fox news this morning) and run with it. I would encourage you to do a little research to understand all of the facts, who all wrote and passed the bill, and the circumstances around it. Maybe, just maybe, we should be working together to prevent another attack instead of politicizing what happened, and think about the victims and their families. Just a thought. . . . Cheers!

rodeomom3 - 2017-11-01 9:12 AM Just like the respect given the victims of Las Vegas, the call  for more gun control laws started the very same day. Neither “side” can claim they give respect and do not politicize a situation, give me a break. No media “reports new” they all spin and promote their agenda. Morning Joe  said Trumps tweet calling for more vetting is Trump saying all our problems are caused by  by immigrants -Trump said no such thing, he did not even imply it, MSNBC spreads more lies, hate and division then the best out there.



Under the program, the State Department offers 50,000 visas to each year to immigrants from parts of the world with relatively low immigration rates over the previous five years. Most visas go to people from African nations, as The Washington Post has reported.



To qualify, applicants must have a high school education or two years in an occupation in that requires formal training. Those who meet eligibility requirements are selected at random from a computer lottery. The State Department refers to them as “diversity immigrants.”



The program did originate in part in a bill introduced in 1990 by Schumer, who was then a member of the House. He proposed making a set numbers of visas available each year to “diversity immigrants” from “low-admission” countries.Under the program, the State Department offers 50,000 visas to each year to immigrants from parts of the world with relatively low immigration rates over the previous five years.

Schumer’s measure was absorbed into a broader House immigration bill, which was sponsored by Schumer and 31 others, including several Republicans. The legislation passed in a bipartisan vote of 231-192. The Senate version, which contained the “diversity immigrants” provision, passed in an overwhelming 89-8 vote and was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush at the end of 1990.

For the past decade or so, political leaders have debated whether to keep issuing diversity visas.

Nevertooold - 2017-11-01 2:15 PM This country is do divided that I would bet we will see a civil war before we ever see it unite.



When I was growing up...there was very little difference between the Republican and Democratic party...Now we have a party that wants little government and still believes in Capitalism and making big money is pretty awesome.



The Democratic party wants to be able to tell us when we can go to the bathroom. Capitalism and rich people are evil and some think the government should take care of them.
