Legal Immigrants: Waiting Forever!

The National Foundation for American Policy released results of a study titled Legal Immigrants: Waiting Forever! highlighting the serious backlogs in the current immigration system. The study found five year wait times for most employment based immigrants which could only worsen if no legislation is passed soon.
"Unless Congress acts, the day may come when promising international students and outstanding foreign-born scientists and engineers decide America is no longer the land of opportunity for them," said Stuart Anderson, executive director of NFAP on MSNBC.
NFAP has done the hard part, now only if the U.S. law makers listen to them.
