Well, it is illegal to hire and pay tourist.
If they the business owners don't want to enforce the law, by doing their due diligence to make sure they themselves are not breaking the law, then they have no objections to seizure of all business and personal assets acquired illegally.

They must file the paper work for every paycheck, that FICA is withheld. Red Flags would wave and federal agents show up and talk to the employee and the employer and get it straightened out. A typo or someone is going to jail and ultimately deported to Mexico City. Not just dropped across the border, to return tomorrow.

Illegal Aliens Taking U.S. Jobs
I recall seeing a film from the early-mid 1970s and it was Mexicans, some legal and some illegal.

But seriously, it was us HS and immediate post-HS folks who did it.

I had a job since I was 6. Self employed lawn mover.
Today, it is illegal, for a 6 yo to have a lawn mowing business.

Anecdote:

A friend who had a roofing business, hired illegals at $12/hr. He said that he got more work out of them, than American labor. For example, lunch - the locals took off and often came back a wee bit late - whereas the illegals ate their lunches on site and were back to work, on the dot.

It is stipulated that legal laborers' wages were diminished by taxes, etc, so the illegals' under-the-table wages were higher. But the work ethic has certainly been warped by generations of socialism and entitlement.

Unfortunately, that is true. Government regulations are keeping poor people poor.

I'm not sure if they're here legal or illegal but the ones that are working part of the solution, not the problem. The criminal element is the problem.

If they are that hard working, why isn't Mexico a more powerful and prosperous nation?
You cannot get Americans to do certain things, because the going rates have been suppressed and even lowered to 1980's going rates. I started construction in the 70's, by 96 I was out of a job, or live in poverty.

When government fails to hear the people, we get people like Donald Trump, saying things more than 2/3 are saying that government has failed to hear, for the best interest of their bank accounts.

Government failing to listen to the people, got us Donald Trump in the position he is in today.

There is no work that Americans will not do. That's a myth.
