Then how much ultimately would you allow? We already admit over one million legal immigrants per year. That isn’t enough?

And would you even look at reallocating existing visas before calling for an overall increase? Why not abolish Ted Kennedy’s absurd Diversity Lottery visas? That’s 50,000 a year right there. Why not end extended family chain migration? Why not discontinue the settlement of refugee groups who would be better suited elsewhere? Why not be more strict with asylum seekers so we don’t get garbage like the Boston Marathon bombers?

And finally, how can you reconcile support for even higher amounts of legal immigration with supporting conservative principles? Hispanics and (to a lesser extent) Asians are natural liberals. Going left on immigration will not change that. Your policy would hasten the demographic doomsday of conservatism.

A nation that does not grow its population will eventually be taken over by one which does. A nation that does not have population growth at its core is neither Christian nor conservative.

If 5 million illegals are deported (either by force or self-deported) then that would be 5 million new legal immigrants I would want to replace them as soon as possible, in addition to current levels of legal immigration.

No diversity visas or extended family chain migration.

I want H1-Bs to be non-lottery based - they need to be income based.
