Who is Allowed to Work in United States
Only a person who has permanent status and holds a green card or a special visa for non-immigrant workers can work in the US. Legislation penalizes employers who knowingly hire people who are not authorized to work. Most employers do want to see evidence of work permission before hiring, but there are others ready to take advantage of a worker's illegal status to exploit him, pay substandard wages, avoid deducting incomes tax or social security, or deny the worker the normal benefits.
