If the state does not specify that the job must be held by a citizen, it could bring someone in through an HIB. There would be no special treatment given during the whole process, from certification to sponsorship.
Alternatively, some state jobs- particularly those in social services, or in a medicical or scientific capacity- would qualify for NAFTA. The NAFTA agreement allows certain degreed professionals to travel throughout the treaty countries as long as they work in jobs on a list where there is a shortage. All it takes for Canadians is to show up at the border with a degree, a letter of offer for a job on the NAFTA list, a valid passport, and about $50. For Mexicans, the criteria similar, but the application is mailed to Homeland Security ahead of time instead of having border patrol process it.
