I arrive into MSP on some pretty busy flights. Even without GE and coming in from peak-summer international trips there, I've never experienced a 1+ hour waiting time there. And none of my area relatives or friends who are frequent travelers have ever personally experienced such a thing at MSP. IAD, however, is a different beast.
The lines at JFK can look pretty deceptive. Even short lines can look pretty deceptive -- as when I have come off some off-peak international flights into BOS and a short-line took nearly 40 minutes when I would have guessed it would have taken about 10-15 minutes at most.

There is: buying some EU country's residence package that enables acquisition of EU citizenship with a few weeks vacation time over a couple of years. I can't remember if the USG had complained about Portugal or Spain doing that, but it is one of these two countries, at the very least, that are allowing for such.
For some lines of work, it may not be an ideal pursuit; however, for most, if you have the money, there is now a pretty good way to do so without disrupting life in the US as a US citizen to do so.
