   As far as I know, the US work requirements apply to all seeking
   permanent US jobs:

   1) US Citizenship or
   2) Permanent residency or
   3) Work Visa and pay income tax

   Those are the legal alternatives:

   These are the illegal alternatives:

   1) Pick up false papers e.g at the Mexico border (cost is variable)
              or
   2) Get a social security card
   (It was a national scandal that these were formerly to be had for the asking)
             and
   3) Get a drivers permit using (2)

   This is the other illegal alternative:

   1) Pass as a US citizen

   (We Americans are resistant to identity cards etc. although the drivers permit
   and the social security card are coming to serve this purpose.)

   You need a green card or a work permit by the INS to accept employment
   here.

   But 1 and 2 do not authorize you for employment.  The INS form that needs
   to be filled at the time of an employee accpeting employment specifically
   states that just a Driver’s license and a Social Security card is not
   enough for proof of employability.  The employer must be shown either a
   U.S. passport, U.S. birth cirtificate, a green card, or some form of work
   visa.  The employer is supposed to make a copy and attach it to the form
   and retain for their records in case of a query by the INS (I don’t think
   the form has to be actually sent in).  However, I am not sure how many
   employers actually do all the paperwork like they are "supposed" to.  But
   that is a totally different story.

   In your tips, you left out a big one: get married to a U.S. citizen or
   permanent resident.  Happens all the time.  It is particularly easy for a
   reasonably good looking and presentable woman, especially if she can get
   herself to the U.S. for a few month.  Especially in light of the long and
   ongoing thread of "my wife hates flying" a female pilot should be in high
   demand.  Ofcourse, I don’t recall if the original psoter was male or
   female.  This is an option available to men as well, but from a practical
   stand point, it is most probably much harder.

   I would like to point out that some might read the previous paragraph and
   say that it is sexist.  I am merely pointing out an option that exists.
   It is up to an individual whether this is something that they are willing
   to do or no.

   Best of luck to you.

   This represents a tightening in about the last decade ( I think).
    I didn’t want to be unduly depressing by mentioning that
   as far as I know, flying airplanes is not a ‘rare job category’ –
   a requirement of the Dept of Labor for work visas.

   I suspect your suggestion is much superior:
