Legally a truck driver from Europe has no possibilities of coming here.

Illegally come overstay like many Europeans do and work... but driving trucks is something you'll need a social security for.

Illegals here do crappy agriculture, cleaning, baby sitting jobs.

The question was not "How can I get deported with nothing but the clothes on my back after serving a couple of years for tax evasion?" I only bring it up because you gave very good answer to that.

OP, this is terrible advice. Sadly, there's no good advice. An engagement ring or a PhD in biochemistry will open doors, not much below that. Although I will suggest signing up for the Green Card lottery. It's an annual thing and you may catch a break.

Yep. If you're gutting chicken for Tyson or picking crops, the USCIS seems rather uninterested, for some rea$on. And this may be a beneficial situation if the alternative is being poor in Honduras.

But if you're driving a truck in Germany? Trying to convert that to the existence of an undocumented person in the US is a serious drop in quality of life on every level. The fully-legal independent contractors who hall containers out of the Port of LA have a hard time getting above poverty level.

Agreed.

There are visas for highly qualified immigrants but obviously that does not include truck driving.

Illegals stay but the jobs they do are jobs literally NO ONE wants.

In Alabama for example illegals pick cotton in the summer heat. (Leaving Germany with health insurance and job entitlements) to come do illegal immigrant level jobs in the US is something only a truly silly person would do.

Its true a lot of people work here in America illegally and get paid in cash, but you must be a citizen to receive welfare, free medical care, and government assistance. Even if somebody has a child in America, only the child is a citizen, not the parent. Any benefits would go to the child.

Also, once the youngest child turns 21, if the government knows the parent is here, there are banned from the USA 3 to 10 years.

In my state the specifically mention how undocumented may receive an assistance from day one.

Once you qualify for 1 specific benefit - you automatically qualify for them all, like even heating/electric assistance, cell, internet, food, etc

Your statement about benefits is incorrect.

Be so kind and post an official link for your statement about a 3-10 year ban. Thank you.

Half a million doesn't go very far nowadays, especially since many that emigrate to the U.S. use that money to buy a house. After that, they still have a lot of expenses.

I have 3 passports, including an EU one… I just wonder why you want to move to USA… what about it is calling you?

EU has plenty of awesome places to live… were it not for my current family situation, I’d love to spent a good portion of my life there, countryside… not in a city. I spent 2 months in a small town outside of Toulouse France and it was fantastic. Huge mountains, beautiful old architecture, bakeries etc.

Whatever you want in USA, other than guns, can be found in EU. But I also know plenty of guns can be purchased in some EU countries
