In an article I read yesterday it says that the government is only sponsoring 15,000, and the rest are privately sponsored. So 1.2 billion might not be far off if the government actually sponsored all 25,000.

I think it's pretty pathetic to make it seem like they were bringing in and paying for 25,000 when it's actually 15,000, they wanted to make it seem like they were doing it all but they're not and a large chunk are being brought in privately.
