hello. I'm mexican and I have my visa B1/B2 that allows me to cross the border with USA "whenever" I want and my permit of 6 months to stay in US territory for 6 months and everybody knows I can't work in the states because I only have a tourist visa right? well, I work in Mexico (Tijuana) but live in the states so i was wondering is that's illegal in this country. I've been told that it's not because I'm not getting benefits from the goverment (such welfare, medical etc) and I'm not avoiding taxes at all since I dont work here. So I want to know if my situation is something illegal and if I'm doing something wrong. I live in the States because it's safer, it's better and there's a lot more things to see/do here than in Mexico. I work in MX because a) i cant work in the states because I dont have a green card & b) because I have no problem working in MX and I obviously can afford to stay in Ca. but sometimes at the border they ask me things such a: is this your car? for how long are

you going to stay? you cross the border a lot, don't you? (i cross 4 days a week) and I have nothing to hide because i can prove them I work in MX, that I own a house in MX and everything they need to know to make sure I don't want to take advantage of the US goverment. SO, by staying in the usa with my permit, am I still doing something illegal?
