Working in firms that produces sells prohibited items not as main line of business : working in grocery that sells alcohol and pork

Fatawa Question

Assalamo Alaykom besmellah I'm a Muslim living in USA for almost 1,5 year.. I have no citizenship and I’m not a resident too.. So I have to work with other Muslims (Arabs) in what they call Grocery Store. I do pray for God SWT and i have my strong believes about Islam.. But when it comes to my current job : I sell all kinds of alcohol.. pork.. I'm not the owner of the store !.. I asked some brothers in the Mosque to find me another job ! But the requirement for almost 98 % of the jobs including my original (dentist) is to be a resident.. I have to work to live and to make money to take my licensure in dentistry as soon as possible! Is it Haram in this situation to work in such a job ? May Allah SWT bless you ? any help will be appreciated ! Notes : homeless doctor, like all Palestinians !
