Trump Bans Nigerians from Being Issued US Immigrant Visa
with agency report
Two other countries, Sudan and Tanzania, will be barred from participating in the diversity visa lottery, which randomly awards green cards to 50,000 immigrants from underrepresented countries annually. Many of the recipients are from African countries. That order was the administration’s third attempt to craft a legally workable policy fleshing out one of Trump’s top campaign promises, after the first two versions were met with significant criticism and struck down by federal courts.
“There are bad actors in Russia, bad actors in China, and none of those places have been put on any kind of ban,” said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee whose Houston district includes the largest Nigerian community in the U.S. “It is pure discrimination and racism.” Mr. Wolf said the new restrictions were meant to encourage countries to cooperate more fully with the U.S.; the countries facing more tailored bans have less ground to make up.
