They don't understand that they cannot stop a majority hispanic population from happening. No matter what they racist do.

Visa lottery I don't mind. They are targeting it for a different reason that everyone fails to see: DV lottery was originally 55k/yr, then 5k/yr were relegated to NACARA program. Can't kill NACARA without severe backlash so they just want DV out and whoops NACARA is dead. Same reason why El Salvadoreans are on TPS since the 90s and Trump is tiptoeing around DACA wondering how to kill the damn thing.
But really the whole immigration system is complete horseshit. Inadmissibilities for bullshit reasons, needing relatives in US to get waivers.
Then you have the whole employment based system which is divided into 4 main groups.
1. The .01% that could toss a dart at a map and live there.
2. The "workers" that are lined up for the job and sponsorship, be it a software engineer or a janitor.
3. The odd none-of-the-above group (religious minister, SIJ, military translators, and 60 others).
4. The filthy rich that will just invest in a Regional Center to buy PR for half a million.
