I worked at an engineering company that employed immigrants to assemble metal cabinets. The attorney for one of the workers said that if we listed him as a "machinist" he could get his green card quicker. Problem was, we listed a machinist position in the small local paper, and, because a nearby Ford auto plant has shut down a few years earlier, many unemployed machinists saw the ad. We ended up having to replace the worker that was making $10/hr with a machinist making $40/hr, and the worker ended up going back to his home country in eastern Europe.
