you need to employ folks for 2 years after that you are free. families abuse this, so - bro #1 comes in, does it for two years, gets papers, then bro #1 uses the same funds to get his papers, then sis #1, etc. granted, you need to find a ton of money, but if a family pools resources, it's doable.

The "green cards for sale" is a legal US government program called the EB-5 Investor visa. It has been there for years. The green cards under this program cost about 500,000 to 1 million dollars.
The people wanting green cards under this program, have to invest that money in the USA and hire at least 10 people in the US. Only a mere 1% of the total green cards granted every year come under this category.
The people who avail of this program are too few and too wealthy for their world to ever collide with that of most Americans.
