Standard disclaimer: not a lawyer, consult someone familiar with immigration law but…

…please dear g–d don’t do this. If you are caught you can be deported and banned from re–entry to the US for anywhere from 5-10 years (on any visa).

Also, any company that would be willing to hire you under these circumstances would be breaking numerous laws, and thus would probably not be very trustworthy. If they decided they wanted to not pay you for work you did, it would be very hard for you to get your money from them.
