I guess illegality doesn't bother me as much as getting a good job done.
Illegals are all over and most probably do good work but some is bad.
I'd look for quality.

We hired a contractor recently (checked him out first) and we had no doubt
everyone who showed up the first two days was a citizen. After that (when
it was too late to call a halt) the percentage of English-speaking workers
dropped sharply. Short of putting a clause in the contract that everybody
has to have either a U.S. birth certificate or a green card, what can you
do?
