One way to qualify for immigrant status is indeed to bring sufficient assets into the country. Directly from the code:
To be eligible for lawful permanent residence based on an investment you must meet the following criteria:
Qualifying Investments
Job Creation: Your investments in new commercial enterprises must benefit the U.S. economy and create full-time employment for at least ten worker-authorized employees, excluding you and your immediate relatives, and persons in nonimmigrant status. Saving ten jobs may also qualify if the qualifying investment is in a troubled business.
Amount and Nature of Assets: The capital investment must be $1,000,000 in high employment areas and $500,000 in targeted employment areas. The capital may consist of cash, equipment, inventory, other tangible property, and easily convertible cash equivalents.
Commercial Enterprise: Any for profit business can qualify, including sole proprietorships, limited or general partnerships, corporations, business trusts, joint ventures, holding companies and wholly owned for-profit commercial subsidiaries, mutual investment funds, etc. An existing commercial enterprise purchased by you can also qualify without necessity for reorganization or reincorporating, if your infusion of capital increases the business' net worth or the number of qualifying U.S. workers employed by 40%. Pre-existing commercial enterprises also qualify if you save ten U.S. jobs by taking over a troubled business that has operated for-at-least two years and has incurred a net loss of at least 20% of net worth during one of the two years preceding your investment.
Location: The only location criteria apply to $500,000 investments in targeted employment areas, which include rural areas identified by the U.S. census or the Office of Management and Budget and areas certified by a State government to be experiencing average unemployment of at least 150% of the national average.

The only court I know for a fact you can work a deal with is the Mexican court and it depends on how much cash you have, as for our court, you should have kept your "a s s" out of trouble in the first place.

Just use the basics. Kick out all the immigrants.
OR, allow only people who have certain college degrees to enter the US. Like Canada is doing, they only allow people from college degrees in.
I saw BRAVO to them! Allow intelligents in!

It doesn't make sense to bargain in such a fashion. What kind of leverage would an immigrant have?
