Trump hits Schumer over immigration program in wake of terror attack
President Trump early Wednesday ripped Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) over his role in an immigration program one day after the deadly terror attack in New York City.
“The terrorist came into our country through what is called the ‘Diversity Visa Lottery Program,’ a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based,” the president said.
The president went on to tweet at “Fox and Friends,” a show he is know to frequently watch, saying his administration is fighting for a merit-based process and quoting a guest on the show, Tony Shaffer.
“Fox & Friends” earlier Wednesday morning aired a clip from Mark Levin’s radio show in which the conservative host attacked the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program and pointed to Schumer’s sponsorship of the program.

Trump’s tweets come less than a day after Sayfullo Saipov allegedly mowed down numerous people with a truck on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, killing eight individuals.
ABC7 in New York reported that Saipov was allowed into the U.S. from Uzbekistan through the program.
Various conservative commentators have seized on the report, and have laid blame on Schumer, who played an important role in the program’s conception in the 1990s.
The program offers visas to people from countries that have relatively few immigrants to the U.S.
