Stop the Immigration Bill (Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act)! "It disadvantages some immigrants, especially African and Caribbean immigrants, while helping others.
The senators crafting the bill put goodies into it that only serve to advantage themselves or their states, meanwhile, the legislation would eliminate the Diversity Visa Program, which allows a visa lottery for countries that have low levels (fewer than 50,000 people) of immigration to the United States. Many African immigrants come here through this program (Ghana and Nigeria each had 6,000 immigrants through this program in 2011; African immigrants are 36 percent of those receiving diversity visas). Thus, while Schumer pushes for special provisions for Irish immigrants, there is no one on the Senate side pushing for special provisions for African and Caribbean immigrants." -
