140. We have more than 200 million people who qualify. We need to let
more of them have th eopportunity. Right now, the wealthy or those with wealthy friends have the advantage.

If we allowed foreign-born, then we'd have the foreign born wealthy or foreign born with wealthy friends with the advantage.

What we need to do is open up the playing field. We have at least thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people who would do an excellent job. Let's put them on the playing field.

If we ever run short of native-born talent, then we could consider it, I suppose.

Can't imagine that will ever happen. Running short of native-born talent, that is.
