just forget about this green card lottery, since it is online, you have million of applicants for 50'000 green cards only. which give you a chance of less than 1%.
the USA has f...d their immigration system which is obsolete with illegal immigrants coming every day by thousand

.(they check us when arriving in the USA when in the other hand 2000 illegal

cross the border everyday with no documents but guns and drug for some, so what is that???it is now easier to be illegal in the USA than to deal with the US immigration which ask you now over 1000$ for a work permit if you are eligible )
They need to reform all agencies, or open boundaries with europe and canada and stop to f... up their citizen. That's the only way to save us cuz continuing like this, it is NOT going to work for very long , believe me!.
USA is in decline and soon it will be a third world country once fuel will be at 4$-5$ the gallon.
