195k would be a dramatic improvement but I don't see why a few thousand slots for specially talented people, such as sports stars, wouldn't be enough. The political class would go crazy, but this is our country, not theirs. Our labor markets could and would adjust to the change in a few years.

I expect that what is possible is primarily a political issue; I'll take whatever we can get. I am certain of only one thing: if we don't stop the flood and reverse the cultural tide soon, we will lose our country.

The result of illegal immigration is the lowering of the average wagw. This reduction also levels the standard of living and wipes out the middle class. Once the middle class is gone America is just like every other country. What separates us from the rest of the world is the opportunity of upward mobility of our middle class.
