That works out to 12 approvals/interviews an hour (or 1 every 5 minutes) around the clock 24/7/365. Very nearly enough time to check for a pulse and flip the hundred stack of C-notes to see if it sounds right. That represents a $22 rebate to every US citizen to offset fuel prices. We should check and see if Yemen or Libya want to get in on the deal.
An approval every 5 minutes and by law, an interview is required. The required questions about terrorism and prostitution, how many applicants would say yes?
Consider this:
There are about 19,000,000 ethnic Saudi’s in Saudi Arabia and hence about 9,500,000 ethnic Saudi males.
Assuming that virtually none of the applicants are Saudi women, 102,300 divided by 9,500,000 = about 1%
That means that about 1% of all Saudi males, of all ages, come to the US every year, year after year. By comparison, that would be about 1 and a half times the immigration from Mexico.
