In our area in Ohio construction companies were caught hiring and paying illegal immigrants under the the table. That was for them both a pay break and a tax break....until they got caught.
But to suggest that construction labor in this area is “unwanted” at any time is simply a lie. In this age of high unemployment it is simply not true with any job.
There is zero need in this area for immigrant labor for jobs that Americans will not take. The Americans in this area will take all the jobs they can get. In the northern Ohio area I used to pastor in, there were always working class people in the church who became the pickers for all the large berry farms in the area and in Michigan. To suggest Amerians won’t be pickers at harvest time is also untrue.
Report those companies. That is tax evasion. No withhholding taxes. We can play this game too. We need to fight them on every front.

If we didn’t pay ablebodied americans to sit on their keesters during times of prosperity, there would be no jobs that americans wouldn’t do.
