So the essential effect of this lottery system is that we are taking from around the world 50.000 people who simply got lucky. There is no real reason we should take them. There is no policy reason to take them. There is no such thing as an underrepresented country really in our immigration system because of the fact that there are so many illegal immigrants in the country already. For example. if you were to take Poland. there are 47.000 people in this country who under this bill are presently illegalthat is the estimatewho may become legal. From Russia. there are about 46.000 people who qualify in that area.
