ALERT! Support the SAFE ACT to end the visa lottery!

The Security and Fairness Enhancement (SAFE) for America Act, HR 704, by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), would eliminate the visa lottery that annually awards 50,000 green cards.

This program symbolizes the failure of our immigration policy—giving away American citizenship based on a drawing, without regard to the situation of the immigrants or the needs of this country.

Furthermore, the visa lottery also encourages illegal immigration. Some illegal aliens break our laws in the hope that they mayeventually win the lottery and be allowed to remain in the United States.

Over 20 years ago, the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform, chaired by the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, recommended the elimination of the visa lottery. It is time to adopt this recommendation as a first step in reining in out-of-control immigration.
