ORIGINAL POSTER

Dunno if this'll pass muster with the admins cuz it's more of a comment than a question but here goes anyhow. This long article perfectly illustrates why Immigration laws can become so incredibly convoluted. Even though it's written by a lawyer, my head's still spinning from trying to decipher it.
