November 1, 2017: from President Trump this morning, via Twitter -- The terrorist came into our country through what is called the
"Diversity Visa Lottery Program," a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit
based.

It is amazing how fast
CNBC is calling the most recent incident in downtown NYC a "terrorist" event. Less than an hour or two old and they are already calling it a "terrorist" event.
Ah, yes, yelling "allahu, akbar." Six killed; more injured. Hopefully, he/she did not recently fly in from a country that President Trump wanted to put on the no-entry list but "vetoed" by a west coast / Hawaiian judge. The "person of interest" is a Uzbek national here on a "diversity visa." The "diversity visa" program was begun in 1990, the brainchild of the senior senator of New York, Senator Chuck Schumer. It's lottery program -- folks from around the world apply on-line and then are selected via lottery. Apparently, this "person of interest" came over nine years ago, but apparently there is no process or requirement for returning them to their home country. They get a "green card" and can stay in the US indefinitely.
