Hat tip to jurisnipper for drawing my attention to this amazingly accurate illustration of the length of time / odds for a foreign national to secure U.S. citizenship – courtesy of Reason Magazine. In the future, if lawyers tell me that they cannot possibly explain a complex body of law in a simple manner, I plan to refer them to this.

Update: If anyone interested in the broken state of the immigration system post 9/11, Rinku Sen and Fekkak Mamdouh will be giving a talk about their book The Accidental American at Elliott Bay Book Company at 8 pm
