You can solve both problems. Illegal workers give an unfair advantage to criminal employers, and hurt society as a whole by not paying taxes. You can stop illegal immigration, and still keep labor costs low by implementing a generous guest-worker program.
We have one, it's just currently being exploited by companies seeking to replace American jobs with cheaper "guest" workers, who somehow remain "guests" in perpetuity.
Fixing the guest worker program seems like a much more practical solution than turning a blind eye to the problems of illegal labor.
