Is there a ‘businesses’ someone without permission can do?

[Tracey]

Hello Joe,

I happened to be in a presentation given by a company with business line of ‘direct sale’. Despite other issues, one question I had for the presenter was concerning the employment eligibility: who can work for the company. The presenter answered me indirectly, and said that no one asked the question before and there was no issue because ‘they have such a case’.

That doesn’t convince me. What would you say (or the law say, if you happened to know) about this line of business?

To extend this a bit further, as I understand, everyone can start business here in Unite States, however, for doing business, there are certainly restrictions applied. My question is this: can everyone, regardless his status in U.S., be doing things, like buying and selling properties (investment in real estate, buying/selling personal properties), initiating/organizing activities not for a profit, writing a book and to get it published, what would you think?

Thank you for your help as always.

Have a great day and weekend ,
Tracey

Hello again, Joe,

Thank you for your explanation. It makes sense to me.

The day-trader is a good example for explaining buying and selling stock. What would you think about buying and selling real estate? For example, someone is buying a house, no matter if it is his first one, but his purpose of buying it is not primarily for him to live in, but purely for investment, that is, to selling or renting it for a profit.

He is doing real estate investment. Let us assume he is doing it ‘occasionally’, say he buys and sells 'a few' houses within a year.

What would do you think if he can do such ‘business’?

Thank you again, for all you have done to help me and people here.

Have a great day,
Tracey

Thank you indeed, Joe!
