As a child of people who were able to come to America because of the lottery, I really disagree with him. Almost every single one of those people are just trying to have a better life.

[davywhite]

His wife, son and in-laws made it just in time.

[thinleydolma]

your dad came from german. how bout that ?

i dont know why nowadays americans have so much problem with outsiders.. america became great because they have ability to attract hardworking, capable people all around the world.. thats why people love america.. they think their ideas, hardwork will be respected there.. thats why people love america, thats why they want to go to america

According to the Cato Institute, immigrants from the countries with the highest percentage of diversity visas have vastly lower incarceration rates than native-born Americans

He had to look down at hit notes to make sure he said 'diversity'. My 5 year old daughter has a better grasp of the English language than our president. This is the world we now live in.

To quote the man himself:

*“To solve a problem, you have to be able to state what the problem is, or at least say the name.”*

Immigration is a signature issue for his base, but he sounds like a tenth grader doing a book report at the last minute. If he has no depth on this, how weak is he on everything else?

[ramanshrestha]

one bad man vs millions of good people

[MAYAWills]

Did he even give the actual reasons they wanted to terminate it in the meeting?

[DavidCDrake]

He tries and fails...twice...to pronounce "diversity." I'm almost starting to feel bad for this old man who clearly just needs to be doing finger-painting in a hospital or senior care facility somewhere instead of, you know, helping to destroy all that is good in my country.

While I agree that divLottery is a pile of crap, if they are planning to remove it they should make a better immigration system for USA, or at least some good work visa options (since foreign work would not be a threat due to minimal wage requirements in USA). But I think Trumps administration would just wall everything off xD

[SprinkleofWilly]

Wtf! I thought he accidentally pronounce diversity wrong but he really did say diversary! lmao

[NNK]

The fool forgot about his wife is from the diverse..smh

[scornor]

He's right. We should end the *Diversery* Lottery Program. Whatever that is.

[shoaibhussain]

Merit system is always best. That's really good step taken by Mr. President.

[marscoric]

He's putting like 5 seconds between each of his words... I, a 8th grade shy kid, can pull this better than he did.

[azharsheik]

I think he planned that attack to terminate dvlottery

[Storyteller]

The guy who came in he is a horrible person for what he did bu punishing others for one's actions does not solve the problem

[الغريب-زذ]

lol i like this guy, i realy do believe it or not.but the news is that those he wants to keep outside are citizens already 😂😂😂
