I find this 'bubbleplot' visualization quite interesting; unfortunately the R code I was capable to produce is quite poor and unsatisfactory. Any improvement or suggestion is more than welcome!
Anyway, this is the code:

png("immigration_bubbleplot_me.png", width=1400, height=400)
par(mar=c(3, 6, 3, 2), col="grey85")
mag = 0.9
original.vec <- as.matrix(original)
dim(original.vec) <- NULL
symbols( rep(1:nrow(original),ncol(original)), rep(5:1, each=nrow(original)), circles = original.vec, inches=mag, ylim=c(1,6),fg="grey85", bg="grey20", ylab="", xlab="", xlim =range(1:nrow(original)), xaxt="n", yaxt="n", main="Immigration to the USA - 1821 to 2006", panel.first = grid())
axis(1, 1:nrow(original), labels=rownames(original), las=1, col="grey85")
axis(2, 1:ncol(original), labels=rev(colnames(original)), las=1, col="grey85")
dev.off()

You can find the first part of this 'series' with Yihui contributed code (Thanks again!) here.

Statistical Visualizations

Inspired by this interesting post, I decided to reproduce some of the plots using R code.
