Baird’s Hiring of Immigrants
In “Clinton’s Pick for Atty. Gen. Pays Fine” (Jan. 17), it was mentioned that “Baird, whose job would involve overseeing the INS, told Clinton transition officials that she believed hiring the couple was legal because she was sponsoring their application for citizenship.” I have been an immigration attorney for years and I would like to verify how an undocumented alien can be sponsored as a citizen without first becoming a permanent resident alien. If Baird knows of such procedure, I would like to know it for my guidance.
