The attacker came into the country on a Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery program visa:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_Immigrant_VisaIts a program specifically designed to prioritize demographic diversity over need or qualification
Sponsored by Chuck Schumer on a bill introduced by Ted Kennedy*, it was signed by George HW. Bush in 1990 as a rider in a more comprehensive modernized immigration bill
Republicans have been attempting to end the program entirely
"natives of the following nations are ineligible: Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam"
what a bigoted, xenophobic program. no wonder scum politicians like chunk schumer and ted "dead passenger" fatboy kennedy were behind it.
