Too many of us here that is why.

I don't think Schumer is going to be very amiable with cooperating with getting rid of the policy he helped push along. This could be another big sticking point in the DACA fight, the wall nothwithstanding.

fuck this guy for helping screw us.

I thought the diversity lottery visa passed Congress and was signed before Schumer got to Congress

It was signed into law by H.W Bush in 1990

DV is outdated. It is a relic.

It needs to go.

You’re missing the “diversity” part.

This is for those who doubt Schummer regarding ending the Visa lottery program.

Quote:
He also proposed eliminating it three years ago, colleagues say.

But Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said on Twitter that Schumer was among a group of eight Republican and Democratic senators who proposed eliminating the program three years ago as part of a broader bipartisan bill to overhaul U.S. immigration laws.

I think we are all on the same page. There is a deal that can be made here.

Yes that could make the final action date move faster.

Also no age cap on DACA/DA deal.
