Authorities have ways to identify people entering the country with incorrect documentation. Tourist visas are designed for those who visit the United States temporarily for leisure purposes, such as receiving medical treatment, participating in social events, or even practicing sports or arts as amateurs. However, working is not one of the allowed activities for holders of a tourist visa.

What Can’t You Do with a Tourist Visa?

People entering with a tourist visa cannot work in the United States. According to officials from the Department of State (DOS), this visa does not allow anyone to accept employment or engage in work activities within the country. Although there are exceptions, such as participating in short study programs, as long as they do not involve a seminar or academic conference, working is strictly prohibited.

The CBP’s Task: Preventing the Entry of People with Illegitimate Intentions

The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) department is responsible for enforcing immigration laws. The CBP has the authority to inspect all individuals arriving in the country, including their luggage and documents. Only those with diplomatic status are exempt from these inspections. This measure, according to federal statutes, ensures that people entering the United States do so legally.

Although the goal is not to make the process more difficult for travelers, the objective is to ensure that those entering the country do so with the correct documentation. The inspections are designed so that people who can enter without issues pass quickly, while those with illegitimate intentions are identified and prevented from entering.

How Does the CBP Detect Illegal Workers?

CBP officers carry out an inspection process to verify that visitors meet the requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act. During this process, travelers are asked questions, and their documents are carefully reviewed.

The CBP trusts its officers’ judgment to determine how detailed the inspection should be. Through this process, agents can identify those who attempt to work illegally in the country with a tourist visa.

Workers’ Rights in the United States

If you work in the United States with the correct visa, such as a work visa, you have several rights that protect you. These rights include:

• Receiving a fair wage: All workers have the right to receive payment for their work and must earn at least the federal minimum wage for most jobs.
• Freedom from discrimination: Employers cannot discriminate against you based on age, gender, race, religion, or disability.
• Work free from sexual harassment: Sexual harassment is prohibited in any workplace.
• Safe and healthy working conditions: You have the right to a workplace free from hazards, with access to medical care, protective equipment, and adequate sanitary conditions.
• The right to join unions: Employees can join groups to fight for better working conditions or wages.
• Leaving abusive work situations: If you work in unsafe or unfair conditions, you can change employers or status, although you would lose your original visa.
