" "How old do I think the earth is? You know what? I don't have any idea. I know it's pretty old, so it goes back a long, long way.

I disagree with the concept that somehow or another we're going to pack up 10, to 12, to 15 million people and ship them back to the country of origin. That's not going to happen.
