Nope. They love the power rush they get, and they like to feel like a hero when they hire cheap off-the-books help.
re: And their taxes are funding the emergency rooms in much bigger amounts than yours are. )))
How do you know what I pay? The ERs are in danger of being shut down entirely due to many pressures, and the recent flood of illegals (who know they'll be treated free of charge) into the ERs is a very large part of what will make them unavailable.
What hurts the local hospital systems is that the employer pays in cash, and no medicare/SS taxes go out of his pocket to help defray the costs to the community. But he enjoys all the advantages of cheap labor--and the nice pat to his ego. I watch this every day--the rich folks bend themselves into moral pretzels to convince themselves that breaking the law makes them the Great White Father.
