Bring in half a million people a year, and we'll go out and recruit them. Someone is going to say, oh my God, we're already bringing in 225,000 people; that's half a million people. It's in my dissertation here. Between now and the year 2050, half the world's population growth is going to come from nine countries, eight of which are either economically, environmentally, or politically unstable. The only one is the U.S.A., and if we don't get younger and bigger to at least defend our borders, it's going to be a real issue, so that's why I'm big on immigration. Bring in half a million people.
