Very surprised your reaction to number two isn't closer to "no, do not do this, run a mile from any employer encouraging you to break the law, especially for a temporary job". It's not just immigration law, I can't imagine the tax implications here are above board.
That's definitely my view. I would stay far, far away from a job like this. But ultimately I think it is a choice, and I think it was better for the person I was advising to hear it framed that way.
