The requirements seem simple enough. The real question is should the U.S. continue with this program in light of how the world has changed over the past few years. I'm not necessarily talking about terrorism because I would hope that sufficient screening and background verification is performed prior to granting permanent resident status to any foreigner. What I'm getting it is isn't the United States diverse enough right now? The Green Card Lotary is officially called the diversity lottery and is meant to guarantee that the U.S. remains diverse. Fundamentally this sounds like a good idea, I mean the U.S. is a melting pot and was built by a dynamic group of people. I think you would be hard pressed to go to any large city and not find a large mixture of ethnic and cultural groups. I don't know this for a fact but I would bet that the United States is the most ethnically diverse country in the world. Assuming this is true, why then do we find it necessary to have a green card lotary? Do we really need to make an already diverse country more diverse? Maybe this wouldn't be such a bad idea if we were better at controlling illegal immigration. When you add up both the legal and illegal immigrants, there are most likely hundreds of thousands of people coming to the United States to live each year. I think this within itself helps make the United States diverse and I believe that if the Green Card Lotary were to disappear tomorrow, the U.S. would still be as diverse as ever.
