My family (me, a journalist; my sister, a surgeon; my father, an engineer; and my mother, a lawyer,) came here on the green card lottery and have had many friends and relatives apply (most rejected as 50K global cap); this is decidedly not how that system works.
It's a random computerized lottery, so no country can send most egregious offenders; 2, there are financial/edu barriers; 3: only opportunity for many, esp from Africa and Asia, to come to America legally and get in the so-called line @SarahPierceEsq

@SarahPierceEsq 2011 report from Congressional Research Service showed higher % of immigrants who entered through lottery had managerial & professional occupations than green card holders overall, ~25% compared to ~10 %. They had a lower unemployment rate, 3 % , relative to 8 % of all greencards
