Whoa there. I brought up the tourist visa as an obvious way to enter the country and then work illegally, to answer the bogus objection that a founders' visa would lead to more illegals stealing American jobs: all that would be is an expensive and convoluted way to do what anyone willing to break that law can already do cheaply and trivially right now. And it wouldn't even work as well, since your name would be associated with the company you'd "founded", leaving a trail that the other method wouldn't.
Edit: I suppose I should mention that no, I am not condoning anyone who enters a country on a tourist visa and works illegally.

Which is a faulty argument, because you flat-out can't work in the US on a tourist visa.

... legaly. As a janitor or on gas station - perfectly can.
