While scores of "illegals" do in fact work aka find jobs in the States, this ought to be the exception and not the rule! Sadly, as the US greed culture ever since ol' Ronald Reagan has worked its stranglehold on American business, if the average businessman -or woman can get something on the cheap, they'll do it (...with a vengeance) and, above all, with virtual impunity:-)

Have few questions. I wanna go to US, in case I wouldn't receive work permission - can anybody help me on below queries: - few year ago I was on students exchange, so I possess SSN
- can I use it without taking a risk of being tracked?
- can I use it without taking a risk of being tracked?
NO ! never give anyone your social security number because that is exactly what it used for, to track your movements
- its easy to find a job on black market?
Yes, and they normally pay twice as much plus you pay no income tax (15%) on your earnings, plus you don't have to pay for Obama Care health insurance.
- can I open bank account, take a lease and so on?
No as they will want your social security number to open a bank account and you will have to provide where the money came from if the government audits you which would lead to forfeiting all your money and possibly some jail time.
It is better to sub lease for cash or get an American roommate to sign a lease.
- what other difficulties I may obtain?
Getting a drivers license because you need a social security number for that also.
Best thing to do is go to a rural area, get hooked up with an American girlfriend or boyfriend, keep your mouth shut and work on a farm helping a farmer, cutting firewood, cleaning homes, painting, etc. all which pay cash plus twice as much as minimum wage.
I know an illegal Polish girl working as an in home health care provider for an elderly woman.
She takes the elderly lady to her Dr. appointments, grocery shops for her, makes her meals, cleans her home in exchange for room and board and a modest cash salary with bonuses for any extra's.
If you know how to keep your mouth shut and be humble there are lots of ways to make money in America.
