      It seems like a bit of a stretch to frame two teenagers wishing to go island-hopping as part of their post-graduation world trip as “intending to work” 😜

      Deportation appears to be about as appropriate here as sending the SWAT team after someone who dropped a candy wrapper.

          Work for their foreign clients with foreign companies. Remote work. While they were backpacking.

            Still Tax fraud and visa fraud. Works like this in most countries.

            Not that I agree with these extreme measures. Most of Europe doesn’t care but still: as ilegal in the US as it would be if an American tourist did the same in Germany.

              Like if I work for Intel and I’m on travel visa, I can’t answer some emails or do a zoom meet with my team for updates or something?

                No, you can’t. Simple as that. Same with helping someone carry some boxes because you’re just a cool dude.

                I don’t make the rules, I only know them 😅

            I don’t know but that’s what the post you were replying to stated and you just ignored it.

              I do tend to ignore posts that come without references or explanations, that’s true.
              But that’s beside the point I was raising - I’ll rephrase: I find it hard to believe that there is anything two Middle European kids vacationing in Hawaii could ever do to even remotely approach any sane definition of ‘working without a permit’ to warrant immediate deportation. Whether they did or didn’t actually intend to defraud the Federal Government over 20$ in beach bar tip money taxes doesn’t really factor into that argument, does it?
