Yet the State Bar Associations have nothing to do with employers. It is almost always the case that if you pass the bar (which you pay the State Bar Association to write; they are a business), you are extremely unlikely to find an employer who will sponsor you for a Green Card to work in the US, which apparently would cost the employer $10,000. They would have to write a letter to the authorities explaining why they have chosen to hire you over any American citizens, so good luck finding a job. Even with a JD you have the same problem; at least it's your better option over an LL.M.
