    Question Working Without Permission on a Tourist Visa

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Illinois

    A non-us company sells food on a festival (anually during period of 6 weeks) in the US. Partly they hire us-nationals for working there. At the same time they brought me and other workers from our country (Germany) on B2 tourist visas. We are provided accommodation and flights in exchange for our workforce. Additional we receive payment only through tip, so there is no direct payment by the employer. Neither in the US nor the country of origin were made contracts. I got the assumption that I have to bear consequences (like being deported) if I get caught because I violate my visa obligations. But I do feel me in a weak position against my boss because he seems like that he has not to fear anything for hiring me and the others. So could it be that he not violates the law because he is not paying us?
