Atlas Exclusive: Diversity and Religious Visas Continue to Increase From Islamic Terror Sponsoring Nations

I have been documenting the increase of outrageous and dangerous "diversity" and "religious" visas. Back in June 2009: DIVERSITY VISA NUMBERS: IMPORTING JIHAD IN THE TENS OF THOUSANDS and April 2009: "Diversity Visas" and "Religious Visas": Importing Jihad, I reported the advancement of this  importation of jihad.

Below I show the employment, diversity, all types of immigrant visas for January 2010. Nigeria and Egypt (Gaza) are among the largest ones.

Obama wasted no time in opening up the visa
regulations when he took office last year, beginning with "religious visas." Before, whoever wanted
to enter as a supposed 'missionary' needed to demonstrate his/her
affiliation with a religious institution for at least two years. Obama changed it to almost no proof at all.

Story continues below advertisement

"Missionary"
Christians come and go, and priests, pastors, nuns, ministers have used
this visa, but their number is so low that it is insignificant. The
Jews also use this type of visa, but it is the same as the Christians.
The numbers are low, and, as with the Christians, generally those folks
use a tourist visa.

It is predominately Muslims who use the "religious visa". And that number is quite high.
Many countries such as Pakistan or territories such as Palestine use
this type of visa, because it has been harder for them to get a regular
visa (though that is no longer true for the Palestinians). But because
most Muslims can't really provide or do not want to provide the
information of a specific mosque they've attended or they've "preached"
at, they complained — and now DOS has granted their wish of waiving
the 2-year proof requirement.

Bottom line, this yet another type of visa they are using, and this change helps them enormously.

Another type of visa that is dangerous and is an IV (Immigrant Visa), is what is called a "Diversity" visa
— a class of immigrants known as “diversity immigrants.” Diversity
Visas (DV) each fiscal year are made available to persons from
countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. The
annual DV program makes visas available to persons meeting the simple eligibility
requirements. A computer-generated, random lottery drawing chooses
selectees for diversity visas. The visas are distributed among six
geographic regions, with a greater number of visas going to regions
with lower rates of immigration.

Just to give you an idea of the
impact of these changes on regions rife with jihad, look at the numbers.

And don't be fooled by Europe's number —
diversity means we are importing Europe's Pakistanis, Moroccans,
Algerians, etc., and we know how well they have integrated into those
societies.

New numbers show a dramatic increase. And remember Egypt includes Gaza and Ethiopia includes Somalis …that's how they hide those numbers.

  Egypt 12,300
Ethiopia 12,475
Nigeria 12,900

2. DIVERSITY (DV-2010) VISA NUMBERS:
--------------------------------

For January, immigrant numbers in the DV category are
available to qualified DV-2010 applicants chargeable to
all regions/eligible countries as listed below:

Africa 23,400 Except: Egypt 12,300
. Ethiopia 12,475
. Nigeria 12,900


Asia 9,475

Europe 19,750


North America 4
(Bahamas)

Oceania 775

South America, 925
Central America,
and the Caribbean


Posts are reminded that entitlement to IV status for
applicants selected for the DV-2010 program expires as
of September 30, 2010. DV visas may not be issued to
DV-2010 applicants after that date. Similarly, spouses
and
children of accompanying or following to join DV-2010
principals are only entitled to derivative DV status
until September 30, 2010.


3. VISA AVAILABLILTIY IN THE COMING MONTHS:
---------------------------------------

FAMILY-SPONSORED: Cut-off date movement in most
categories continues to be greater than might ordinarily
be expected. Thistrend is anticipated to continue for
at least the next few months because fewer applicants
are proceeding with final action on their cases at

STATE 00127318 002.2 OF 003


consular posts abroad, and the volume of USCIS
adjustment cases remains low. Once large numbers of
cases are brought to final action, cut-off date movement
will necessarily slow or stop. Moreover, in some
categories, cut-off date retrogression is a possibility.
Therefore, although it is not possible to say at present
when cut-off date movement will slow or possibly
retrogress, readers should be aware that the recent rate
of cut-off date advances will not continue indefinitely.


EMPLOYMENT-BASED: At this time, it is unlikely that
there will be any cut-off dates in the Employment First
preferences. It also appears unlikely that it will be
necessary to establish a cut-off date other than those
already in effect for the Second preference category.
Cut-off dates apply to the China and India Second
preference categories due to heavy demand, and each has
the potential to become "unavailable" should demand
cause the annual limit for that category to be reached.

INA Section 202(a)(5) provides that if total demand will
be insufficient to use all available numbers in a
particular employment preference category in a calendar
quarter, then the unused numbers may be made available
without regard to the annual per-country limits. For
example, if it is determined that based on the level of
demand being received at that time there would be
otherwise unused numbers in the Employment Second
preference category, then numbers could be provided to
oversubscribed countries without regard to per-country
limitations. Should that occur, the same cut-off date
would be applied to each country, since numbers must be
provided strictly in priority date order regardless of
chargeability. In this instance, greater number use by
one country would indicate a higher rate of demand by
applicants from that country with earlier priority
dates.

Should Section 202(a)(5) be applied, the rate of number
use in the Employment preference category would continue
to be monitored to determine whether subsequent
adjustments are needed in visa availability for
oversubscribed countries. This action provides the best
possible assurance that all available Employment
preference numbers will be used, while still ensuring
that numbers remain available for applicants from all
other countries that have not yet reached their per-
country limit.

Based on current indications of demand, the best case
scenarios for cut-off dates which will be reached by the
end of FY-2010 are as follows:

Employment Second:

China: July through October 2005
India: February through early March 2005

If Section 202(a)(5)were to apply:
China and India: October through December 2005

Employment Third:

Worldwide: April through August 2005
China: June through September 2003
India: January through February 2002
Mexico: January through June 2004
Philippines: April through August 2005

Please be advised that the above date ranges are only
estimates which are subject to fluctuations in demand
during the coming months. The actual future cut-off
dates cannot be guaranteed, and it is possible that some
annual limits could be reached prior to the end of the
fiscal year.

A year later, big media notices: Today FOX news finally got to the story here:

Thousands From Terror-Sponsoring Nations Entering U.S. on 'Diversity Visas'

The State Department is planning to welcome thousands of
immigrants from terror-watch list countries into the United States this year
through a "diversity visa" lottery — a giant legal loophole some lawmakers say
is a "serious national security threat" that has gone unchecked for years.

Ostensibly designed to increase ethnic diversity among
immigrants, the program invites in thousands of poorly educated laborers with
few job skills — and that's only the beginning of its problems, according to
lawmakers and government investigations.

"There are a lot of holes in this program in terms of security
and in terms of fraud," said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who has written
legislation aimed at killing the lottery.

Now, in the wake of the botched Christmas Day terror attack
that emerged from Nigeria and Yemen, members of Congress are worried the system
could be vulnerable to radicals looking to "play" the visa lottery as a means of
reaching the U.S.

Here's how it works: to avoid
getting stuck with 3.5 million others on a visa waiting list, hundreds of thousands of people put their
names into the separate diversity lottery, which rewards countries that
typically see low levels of immigration to the U.S. Immediate family are allowed
to join lottery winners.

Countries like China, where lots of immigrants originate, are
excluded.

Then a computer in Kentucky picks names at random from the
qualified applicants, who need only a high school degree or two years at a job
that requires two years of experience. The program accounts for about 10 percent
of all immigrant visas each year.

Included in the lottery are all four countries the U.S
considers state sponsors of terror — Iran, Sudan, Cuba, and Syria — and 13 of
the 14 nations that are coming under special monitoring from the Transportation
Security Administration as founts of terrorism. Pakistan is excluded because,
like China, it sends over tens of thousands of immigrants each year and doesn't
need to be in the lottery.

Among the winners
for 2010
are:

Nigeria: 6,006
Iran: 2,773
Algeria:
1,957
Sudan: 1,084
Afghanistan: 345
Cuba:
298
Somalia: 229
Lebanon:
181
Libya:
152
Iraq: 142
Saudi Arabia:
104
Syria:

98
Yemen:
72

Though Umar Farouk Abdulmattallab, the 23-year-old Nigerian
accused of trying to blow up an airliner on Christmas Day, used a tourist visa
— not a diversity visa — to enter the country, Goodlatte said he worries that
Al Qaeda members will game the system. He fears they will submit the names of
young acolytes from Saudi Arabia or Yemen who have clean records and could gain
entry to the U.S. to wreak havoc. More than 1,000 such visas have been granted
to Yemenis in the past decade alone.

"You can take young people out of the madrassas that have no
record of any activity with a terrorist organization but are loyal followers of
Usama bin Laden," he said.

The State Department's Office of the Inspector General
recommended in a 2003 report that terror-sponsoring nations be removed from the
diversity visa program.

"OIG believes that this program contains significant
vulnerabilities to national security as hostile intelligence officers, criminals
and terrorists attempt to use it to enter the United States as permanent
residents," the office's deputy inspector testified to Congress in 2004.

A separate report filed by the
Government Accountability Office also faulted the program for being susceptible
to widespread fraud. A cottage industry has emerged abroad
to cater to the lottery, and it regularly bilks people out of massive amounts of
money and even coerces some into marriage to keep their diversity visas.

But State Department officials told FoxNews.com that they have
a powerful security protocol in place to protect the system — a point
underscored in their rebuttal to the GAO report.

"We do not see the DV (diversity visa) program as uniquely
vulnerable," when it comes to state sponsors of terrorism, they said, because of
careful vetting that includes "two types of biometric checks and name
checks."

They acknowledged that fraud occurs in the lottery, with one
official saying, "It is a sad reality that all visa categories encounter sham
marriages, suspect identities, fraudulent documents, use of agents and unlikely
stories" — but they cited an "impressive array" of strategies they use to
tackle fraud.

The program hasn't been without its cost: one beneficiary,
whose wife received a diversity lottery visa, killed two people at Los Angeles
International Airport in a 2002 shooting spree at the El Al ticket counter, an
act the government labeled terrorism.

Still, the lottery has some staunch defenders, including Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, who is sponsoring an amendment that would double
the number of diversity visas to 110,000 a year. Because of State Department
enforcement and lack of interest, not all of the 55,000 visas offered each year
are taken by winners of the lottery.

Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., argued that the program allows
many immigrants to come and make lives for themselves in the U.S., including
soccer phenom Freddy Adu, who formerly played for D.C. United.

"The Diversity Visa Program is the
chance for many people of color around the world to immigrate to the United
States and pursue the same American dream that many of the ancestors of the
members [of Congress] here were able to pursue," Conyers said in congressional debate in 2007.

Yet the name of the game hasn't always been diversity, and
some experts argue that the program itself is racist for using ethnic criteria
for immigration.

Prominent Irish- and Italian-American lawmakers, including
Sen. Ted Kennedy, crafted the law in 1988 as a way to confer legal status on
immigrants from their countries of ancestry.

UPDATE: I received this comment from the Anti-Mullah, a result of the poison of O's policy:

To confirm one part your article about religious visas, I remember receiving complaints from the Iranian Diaspora, some months ago, that Iranian mullahs, with a large contingent of those from Mashhad, Supreme Ruler (still but not for long) Khamenei’s home town, were showing up on religious visas, touring mosques around America, bringing and gathering information, making pay-offs and recruiting potential terrorist operatives.

Also using the trips to confer with the huge number of “permanent IRANIAN students” inside our universities, who are in reality agents/employees of the Islamic regime’s Ministry Of Information & Security (MOIS). The latter are there to monitor and create pro-Islamic mindsets and influence groups to counteract or overcome any attacks on the Islamic regime or Islam in general.
