Maybe it it is racist, I for one don't care. [/quote] :1rof1: [/quote]

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) on Friday said a Republican bill that would change the visa program raises the "ugly head of racism," and charged that the legislation would have the effect of shutting out various racial groups from access to U.S. visas.
Johnson charged that by ending the diversity visa program and using those visas for foreign nationals with advanced degrees, the bill treats immigration as a zero-sum game that would make it harder for some countries to obtain visas.
"I'm not accusing of anybody of racism," Johnson said. "I don't know what is in the head of those who support this bill. But if it's not racist in its intent, it's certainly racist in its effect."
