Is it too much paperwork or something?

It's a legal nightmare. I used to work for an international publishing company and the paperwork is overwhelming and combined with the "not knowing" it is all too much. We would agree to hire someone, sponsor them, and then we would literally not know for years if we could employ this person. Might I add, these were people from the UK - not of Arab origin - pre 9/11. I can't imagine what it would be like today. American business suffers the most. Intellectual talent is crucial to the competivness of any business.

It is a ton of paperwork, if they are applying for the immigrant's green card, it takes years and they have to send the corporate tax returns to immigration, along with all sorts of evidence, they have to pay what the government tells them to pay, then after all that, the immigrant can leave and go work somewhere else. Would you do all that for an employee?

generally a activity ought to be marketed for see you later and if no American is prepared/qualifed to do the activity employers can import the talents that they elect. you will maximum defiantly elect a criminal expert. From what i'm advised it basically comes all the way down to $$$ and while you're prepared to pay it. Even then you fairly would be on a working visa that would expire faster or later.

depends a lot on the worker... why would a company want to spend the time and money to sponsor an un-skilled worker when they can find one who is just as skilled and doesn't need the sponsorship?... it's not racist, it's just economics... now if your talking about a skilled worker (say a doctor or an engineer), then it may be worth the company's while, financially speaking, to sponsor that worker because he can benefit the company more than the average un-skilled worker...

AFAICT, they do. I work with a Pakastani, a Bangladeshi, a Palestinian, a Scotsman - and my boss is from India (I also work with two other Americans) - they're all immigrants brought over for thier skills because the company couldn't find enough engineers here. (There's also many Veitnamese working here, but you don't want to go through what they did to get to this country.)

It's a LOT of paperwork and you often have to hire an expensive immigration attorney.

I would be happy to sponsor a legal immigrant.
In fact, we have many of them at my work.

how come pro illegals don't let I.A.'s come and live with them and support them financially if they love them so much and care about their cause so much? why don't they put their money where their mouth is?

because then they would be financially responsible for said immigrants
