This has always been my issue for some time. If there were some ramifications for the people who employ them, then there is a trickle-down effect...but there aren't any ramifications. I had a house built by a very large Cincinnati builder last year and was told to be careful going to the worksite during the day because sometimes the crews get spooked if they see someone driving by the site often and they will get up and leave. It wasn't directly said, but basically, the inference was "The crews are all illegal immigrants and they will think you are Immigration".
You aren't going to stop people from coming over illegally if coming over illegally still allows them to achieve what they came here for. Enforce CRIMINAL penalties for all parties within a company who know, or should know, that they are actively employing illegal immigrants, or contracting them. Consider a "Sarbanes Oxley" like law that removes the ability to fake ignorance about "knowing" off the table as a defense.
