Most of us are in favor of the closing down and punishment of companies that have used illegal workers to remain in business. Companies aren't fond of passing down cheaper production costs to consumers just because they can produce at cheaper rates. If a company sells you a product for $10 that cost $5 to make and they all of a sudden find a way to produce it at a cost of $2, the consumer will still pay $10 for the product. and the company will bank the extra $3 per product sold.
