END VISA LOTTERY: Democratic Reps. Peter DeFazio and Brad Sherman Co-Sponsor Bill
Democratic Reps. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) and Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) have co-sponsored Rep. Bob Goodlatte's (R-Va.) bi-partisan SAFE for America Act of 2011 that would end the Visa Lottery.
The Visa Lottery issues 50,000 green cards based on "random selection" instead of humanitarian need, family connection, or other economic or cultural value to the United States.
Rep. Goodlatte's bill is one of our top legislative priorities for the 112th Congress and currently has 13 co-sponsors.
Rep. DeFazio represents Oregon's 4th Congressional District. He is currently serving his 13th term in Congress and has earned a career B grade.
Rep. Sherman represents California's 27th Congressional District. He is currently serving his 8th term in Congress and has earned a career D+ grade.
