Half as Many Entrants Play Green-Card Lottery

"Only eight million people tried to win a green card in the latest U.S. diversity-visa lottery, the State Department said, compared with a record 15 million last year.  That figure could slide further in coming years, because the Senate recently passed a measure to charge a fee for entering the electronic draw, starting with next year's drawing." - Wall Street Journal, Nov. 11, 2011.
