I am a business owner in the united states. A dear friend of mine, whom I feel would be a great asset (in the arts) to my business is a Mexican citizen. I know that businesses can often “sponsor” temporary or permanent immigration. After researching online I see that it is a very complicated process. How much does this usually cost and how do I go about starting? Or is it even possible? Thanks in advance!

Would that not solve the problem?

Punish the businesses that hire them. If we need them, then let them come, if we don’t, punish the businesses and organizations that help them.

There is a whole industry set up in chuting people into the US from Mexico and its on both sides of the border.

I went into a public notary office in a predominatly Hispanic neighborhood and there were advertisements for getting a second form of ID in Spanish there.
