So I heard about this recent case from one of the agents involved:
A large bakery had over 100 illegals
Working between 40 and 60 hours per week
For ten bucks an hour (no mention of being denied overtime pay, though I can't say for certain that they received it; not all details were available, since the ADA has yet to open a criminal case)
How are they saving any money by hiring illegals? Evidently they suffering any serious abuse or having any significant amount of pay withheld, since they couldn't get a single worker to turn (cooperation with ICE can earn one legal resident status)
But they're only taking jobs Americans won't do, right? I'm pretty sure you could find plenty of citizens willing do that job- hell, pay $9.50 and hire 150 at 30-35 hours per week and you'll still have people lining up.

What motivation is there? Is it just to fuck honest Americans?A 2010 study by the Pew Hispanic Center found that while every demographic of native-born workers has lost millions of jobs during this deep recession--foreign-born workers have actually increased their employment numbers.
Since June 2009, immigrants (including illegal aliens) have gained 656,000 jobs, while U.S. born workers lost 1.2 million jobs during that same period.
