Sadly, there are folks who want to use last week's terrorist attack
for their cynical political reasons. They don't want to treat the root
causes of extremism, whether based on racial resentment, twisted
interpretations of religion, or political ideology. They do want to
stoke fear in order to advance an anti-immigrant agenda, and they are
trying to blame the Diversity Visa program for the violence. Americans are smarter than that. The Diversity Visa program strengthens the Nation by allowing people
from places like Africa and the Caribbean to lawfully immigrate to the
United States, where they help fill major shortages in the workforce
and drive positive changes in their communities. We need them, and they
need us. Let's not sacrifice our national principles because of a trumped up
fear of immigrants.
