“Fits the pattern”: According to a former immigration official, if the lottery closes, Trump might permanently terminate the green card programme.

A former immigration official said it would not be surprising if the Donald Trump administration permanently ended the green card program altogether.

as it did when it halted the green card lottery, citing the criminal actor behind the Brown University shooting, which also killed an MIT professor.

The Green Card Lottery is different from green card programs because it was only for countries with low immigration to the US. Ricky Murray,

He served as USCIS chief of staff for refugee and international operations until November and told Newsweek the administration is following a pattern of suspending programs based on certain incidents.

The administration halted all immigration requests from Afghanistan and several other countries after an Afghan national was found to be a suspect in the recent DC shootings.

Now the administration cited the Brown University shootings and the murder of an MIT professor in suspending the green card lottery because the accused, a Portuguese-born man, had become a citizen through the green card lottery.

“This fits the pattern we see consistently under this administration, where the actions of a bad actor are put on everyone using that avenue for their immigration processing.

They use this broad logic to ban entire groups of immigrants and do not look at any individual merit or factors in determining whether to approve or deny cases.

The U.S. The immigration system was always set up to measure individual merits.

“This administration is attempting to change the approach by allowing everyone a chance, while simultaneously looking for a single mistake to judge them all,” Murray said.

The Green Card Program includes the Green Card Lottery.

There are five main categories of green cards: family-based, employment-based, diversity visas (the green card lottery has been suspended), humanitarian green cards, and special programs, such as special immigrant visas. The Green Card Lottery was a random selection of 55,000 applications to grant permanent residence in the US.

Indian-origin immigration attorney Cyrus Mehta stated, “The suspension of the entire diversity visa programme mandated by Congress should not be justified by the evil actions of one individual.”

Cyrus Mehta, an Indian-origin immigration lawyer, condemned the suspension and asserted that the lottery could not bear the blame for the killings.

Congress should not use the bad actions of one individual to shut down the entire diversity visa programme.

The Brown University firings were not the result of the visa program but based on the motivations of one individual.

Unfortunately, the president has attacked the DV program in the past because it brings people from “stupid” countries to the US.

The alleged killer in this case is from Portugal, which hardly qualifies as one of the countries Trump has maligned.

The administration should not use these unfortunate murders as an excuse to end its regressive immigration programs,” Mehta said.

The green card lottery suspension will have no impact on India, Pakistan, China, the UK and other countries with high immigration rates, as they were never eligible for this lottery.
