"Simple solution. Annex Austria as the 51st state. Elect Schwarzenegger for two terms. Sell Austria to Mexico as a home for its illegal immigrants.

Wasn't Ahnold born in Austria? If it would be admitted, not "annexed" (like Germany did, bad choice of words on my part) as a state, then Ahnold would have been born in US territory. The immigrant part was stupid to say. There are some native Austrians who wouldn't like the deal, and we can still fix our problems here.
