Probably not, but it does increase the amount of work done "under the table." Actually here in Mexico it's difficult to obtain a work visa. Most expats have a standard visa that specifically state you're not allowed to work.
You are allowed to deduct all taxes paid in a foreign country from your federal tax. I tried that the first year and it didn't go so well. Even with receipts my accountant couldn't get them all approved. If I didn't use a debit or credit card my name wasn't on the receipt. So unless it's a big ticket item I don't even try now.
