this was the second terrorist attack allegedly committed by a winner of the diversity immigrant visa lottery, following the 2002 los angeles international airport shooting committed by hesham mohamed hadayet, an egyptian. trump called for the termination of the diversity immigrant visa lottery program. he then ordered the department of homeland security to "step up" the dhs's already extreme vetting policy. he cast blame on chuck schumer, a democratic party senator representing new york, sarcastically calling the lottery scheme "a chuck schumer beauty". the program was part of an immigration bill that passed both chambers of congress with bipartisan support, followed by republican president george h. w. bush signing the bill into law in 1990. schumer introduced a house bill that helped to create the program. schumer responded to trump's attack, saying, "i guess it's not too soon to politicize a tragedy." he also accused trump of dividing the country and of wanting to cut anti-terrorism funding in budget proposals. republican senator jeff flake of arizona defended schumer, saying the proposals of the bipartisan gang of eight, including him and schumer, would have eliminated the diversity visa lottery.
