It’s not easy to find firms willing to pay the added cost of taking on someone who is not already authorized to work in the US. Your best chance is to find a firm with offices in Mexico and the US.

Hmmm I don't think now's a good time, my friend. With the political climate, immigration in the United States has been strict. I have a friend who flew there last month to visit and stay with a relative and just as he was at the door, he got deported right away. Although it was kind of his fault in a way. Immigration saw he had stayed a year prior for 6 months (to visit his cousin), then he returns this time for another 6 months. Ideally if you have a 10-year US Visa you can validly stay for 6 months. But yeah he got deported and he's banned from the US now for 5 years.

"visiting" sure... no one visits their cousins for 6 months at a time.

I have some knowledge about drywall, studd wall, brick, stone and concrete systems. It’s not common use drywall and studd wall system here in mexico it’s more common build with the others systems.

see trump and border wall... it's not funny once you need to explain it. With that said, you're likely to see many hurdles given the current backwards views on immigration. You're still just a student so try and get some local experience before moving abroad to the US.

Go south! There's an entire continent where you could make yourself useful and actually be appreciated.

of course you can, an educated professional can make a living anywhere. Not more expensive than LA or NY. I don't want to assume you're asking if you can live like in Akron,OH.

Geezer, billions of people make a living all over the world, often at higher standards of living than in the US

The best way it to apply at a school or large firm with huge offices and the resources to sponsor your visa. You should get a green card before making the leap.
