As with many U.S. immigration policies over the years, the actual lived experience of the lottery generated unintended and unexpected consequences, becoming more powerful and important than its creators could envision. Dreamland tells the story of the lottery, correcting the sometimes willful misconceptions of how it works, explaining its importance, and revealing what it has to teach us. Because the program was open to all countries that sent fewer than 50,000 immigrants in the previous five years, nearly all that had previously been shut out of the immigration system were suddenly eligible for consideration, including a vast swath of African nations. The lottery became an economic boon, as Africans provided visa-related services for fees, and used the annual event to bring in needed revenues to their photo shops, print stores, and cyber cafes. The policy fueled a rapid increase in African immigration to the United States, enriching U.S. life in the process"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Emigration and immigration. 610 10 $a United States. $t Immigration Act of 1990. 650 0 $a Visas $z United States. 650 0 $a Africans $z United States. 651 0 $a Africa $x Emigration and immigration. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x EÌmigration et immigration. 650 6 $a Visas $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Africains $z EÌtats-Unis. 651 6 $a Afrique $x EÌmigration et immigration. 630 07 $a Immigration Act of 1990 (United States) $2 fast 650 7 $a Africans $2 fast 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $2 fast 650 7 $a Visas $2 fast 651 7 $a Africa $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781469673066 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240201010303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9637C42EC0CF11EE81BF3A115DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
