Of course you could pay illegals good wages under the table, but pretty much every reputable employer requires copies of identifying documents. thereby verifying citizenship.
Because they can't possibly be faked.
Of course, if we were to live in a completely anarchistic society, all those meddlesome regulations wouldn't be there to cause us headaches. I can see how that would be cool, but I really enjoy modern conveniences and technology, which would be extremely rare/non-existent without some sort of centralized government.
Government has been complicit in suppressing more technology than we can even imagine. Patent system sir. Probably even much more, but I will exclude the "tin foil hat" possiblity of spooks in the night stealing budding technology that is damaging to the system as we know it.
