The short answer is that the market penalties are not strong enough to overcome the market rewards. If the law specified seizure of assets for those who employ illegals, instead of penny ante fines, then employers would rationally choose not to hire illegals.

My state gives in-state college tuition to illegals. It recently opened a special lane over the Rio Grande to allow Mexican schoolchildren to be educated at public expense.

A visit to my county hospital emergency room will show you that illegals get free health care.

Market forces reward illegals and their employers. And market forces can be used to reverse the process.

Unless, of course, you believe that markets are incapable of influencing behavior, which is just plain sad.
