After reading that, I think the owner of the store is more responsible than ever.
If the guy was here on a tourist visa, he can't have had a SS#. So how was he on the payroll? How was he paying taxes? (Hint: I'll bet he wasn't. He was probably under the table.) Did he make sure the guy could legally work in the country?
The owner sounds like just as much of a scum bag trying to cut corners. He should have felony charges against him, for interfering with an emergency, damaging public property, and employing this guy. Jail time sounds appropriate for me.
My family owns a small business that employs immigrants. LEGAL immigrants. With SS numbers. That pay taxes. And have health insurance that isn't provided by the government.
So should everyone else.
