I agree with you there. It isn't just companies, but I was trying to make a point. People shouldn't be hiring them to come dig holes, paint houses, etc. If you see it happening you should call them out on it.

Im sorry if you hate to hear the "excuse" or "cop out" or whatever you want to call it but the fact remains that these are the only people willing to leave their families for a year, to hop on a bus, and do ardous work in the sun for peanuts. am i endorsing it? no. im only stating the facts. i too wish everyone could all be legal and we could hold hands and walk down the street together singing Cumbayah while eating corn on the cob. 
To be honest with you, I don't want to sing Cumbayah walking down the street with anyone. I'm not looking for that kind of Utopian existance. If they just went through the legal process it would be fine.
However, the threadstarter requested we not turn this into a political debate. On that note I would like to say I give 100% support to the Minute Man project so long as they keep it on the up-and-up. I wish I could make the time to go down there and help.
The illegals trying to make it into the USA don't need to be shot or beaten; they only need to be stopped and I think that's exactly what these guys are trying to do.
