State Department Opens Green-Card Lottery
I guess it would not bode well for them to include Mexico, given the fact that 10-20% of their citizens are already here. 
Quote:
About 55,000 foreign citizens will resettle in the United States thanks to the controversial – but still mandated by Congress – green-card lottery, which opens at noon Thursday.
After years of ineligibility, Russian citizens can apply again. Kosovo has been added to the list this year as a new country. The United States recognized its independence in February.
The countries not eligible this year are: Brazil, Canada, China (mainland), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Peru, Poland, South Korea, United Kingdom (excpet Northern Ireland) and Vietnam.
