Maybe it's time to bring back the "Guest Worker" era. You can't bring in 500,000 workers (meaning 1 million immigrants, probably) on an annual basis without completely changing the country.
Absolute bollocks.

First, a million per year is a gross exaggeration. An annual growth of 1% through immigration is nothing special and would not completely change a country.

There's already a recent precedent for this when Spain grew by >10% between 2000-2008 and it did not completely change the country.
