Probably shouldn't tell border patrol you're doing unpaid labor in a country you're visiting. When speaking to authorities it's best to say the absolute minimum required for the encounter.

Statements like these make me happy I live in Europe.

If you live in Europe you'll need a visa to work in the US. You want to live in the US to not need the visa.

Well, I live in Europe and work for an American company and I don't need a visa. In general, the USA is a very nice country to visit but for long-term living I prefer the EU.

Are you saying you're in the US working without a visa?

No, I'm in the EU but working for an American company. This is the best arrangement in terms of money and quality of life for me.
