How to Maintain a 'Sustainable' Population

John Tanton Video Interview 2006 - Topic 7

Dr. Tanton discusses the three primary questions regarding immigration policy:

• How many people should we admit?
• Who gets the visas? There are now about 70 different kinds of visas.
• How are you going to enforce the rules?

He discusses how the number of 175,000 legal immigrants per year was arrived at in order to achieve a sustainable, non-growing population. He also discusses the 1965 Immigration Act and immigration quotas.
