A person’s ability to enter another country is dependent on the legal system of that country and the criteria laid down for entry at that time. For example: ii) the USA, among its various qualifying categories for legal immigration, has one, Diversity, authorised by recent legislation which authorises a limited number of individuals to immigrate based on past under-representation in the immigrant population.
