Some companies like Tesla even use B2 (tourist, temporary) visas to bring in cheap labor - something expressly forbidden.
Stranger still is the relative ease at which a "tourist" can get a SSN and a job with nobody noticing:
This guy had and his wife were living in MD and working in a Dunkin Donuts. They were not the franchise owners, they were here on a Honeymoon Visa. Obviously, it doesn't require a special skill set or H1B to work a donut shop, but in spite of the alleged difficulties obtaining one, it doesn't seem too difficult to get a social security number and begin working while on a visa that isn't supposed to allow that.
There's $20,000 bucks in it for anybody who can find the dirtbag. "The Hunt with John Walsh" is making an episode about it, but there's a video here of how it went down.
How long were they in the country, how long did they work at a Dunkin Donuts, and how many opportunities presented themselves to nail either of them for overstaying a visa that isn't supposed to allow for working on a supposed honeymoon?
Trump would do well to put a stop to tall types of immigration and visa abuse while he has a chance.

In the wake of the report, Eisenmann, a German manufacturer of industrial systems hired by Tesla, said it would investigate allegations that its subcontractor ISM Vuzem paid a workforce of about 140 Eastern European men substandard wages. It added that its contract with Vuzem explicitly stated a $55 hourly labor rate, the paper reported.
Lesnik sued Vuzem, Eisenmann and Tesla, claiming he and scores of other Eastern European workers were brought to the U.S. on questionable visas and paid substandard wages, the Mercury News reported.
Two other Vuzem workers interviewed said they received about $10 an hour to work at the plant, the paper reported. The men arrived with B1-B2 visas, which broadly ban hands-on construction work.
