If the illegals are paid wages then this is usually cancelled out by the rent they have to pay to live on site at the employer's bunkhouse down the road. So likely cost neutral, in the overall scheme of things.
Unemployable illegals are a different matter and are a drain on the taxes that most of us pay.

58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed,
even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which
is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring
k upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Deuteronomy 28: 58- 61
