State Department handing out 'Diversity Visas' to Yemen like candy on Hallo'een

The US State Department has handed out over a 1000 'diversity visas' to Yemeni's since 2000.

From CNS

(CNSNews.com) - The State Department has awarded 1,011 special “diversity visas” allowing Yemeni nationals to immigrate to the United States since 2000, the year 17 U.S. sailors were killed when the USS Cole was attacked by terrorists in the Yemeni port of Aden.

The "diversity visas" are designed to encourage immigration from countries that do not otherwise send significant numbers of immigrants to the United States.[...]

That the U.S. would encourage immigration from Yemen during the past decade is of interest because of the terrorist problem in that country.
