Central Texas is nice. Legal immigration is a major pain. It needs to be made faster or less expensive so that it's an attractive alternative to doing it illegally.

As said above, there's the official government green card lottery, and then there are a bunch of scam sites charging hefty fees to fill out the form for you. You have something like a 1/10 chance, so on average it takes 5 years. I've been going through the laws lately and they are complicated as heck. It is quite expensive for a company to sponsor you and it's illegal for you to reimburse the cost.

Musicians, artists, and athletes of "special ability" get a special deal, as well as people with unique skills in other areas. The idea there is that while you don't want millions of people floating in looking for work, your don't want to have Pavorotti waiting two years for a visa in order to do a US tour. Also when Einstein decided to come here, he for in on that fast track as someone with unique abilities - he's not just one more random person wanting to immigrate here.
