True. Police don't typically get involved in immigration status in the US as they do in China or Japan [or other places, which I may not be familiar with] I was made aware the police would raid places which had foreign workers on a periodic basis --so even if you had a proper visa, if the employer was over their visa quota you could get kicked out --the employer would have to fire you to come under compliance and you'd lose your visa sponsorship and have to leave. It was fun having to wait out police immigration raids, sometimes looking for kickback to not look too hard for the foreigners.
