I actually used to work for a company who did this, and they used me as their translator. They kept replacing workers because it was cheaper....
It was job security for me but had I not known what I did, I may have lost my job this same way. They were actually turned in anonymously by one of the illigal workers. (I heard them talking about it, there was an issue with someone spanking off in the mens b-room. Well once they found out who did it they fired him-but didn't think about the rest of his cousins and brothers and brothers cousins and aunts and aunts of aunts and etc that STILL worked there)
If I have my choice, I'll never again have to work for a corporation, or anyone who has the authority and power to put me in such a situation. I've got more than my fair share of corporate horror stories. I worked my way through college as a security specialist for an enormous chain of retail stores. I supervised stores all over the state and had to endure countless meetings with general managers, regional/district managers, all the way up to the Vice President. A good majority of those I met were cut-throat, ruthless people who viciously defended their bottom-line... NOT the employees. Even my old boss was willing to have me break rules to meet certain agendas. Many of which were solely to "weed out" the expendable employees from the useful ones. All the while I was thinking that at least my branch (loss/theft prevention) had some kind of moral authority. They never gave a shit about me or my development as an employee, they just wanted me to save them as much money as possible... even if I had to break their rules to do it.

They, like a lot of penny-pinching American corporations, moved a great deal of their operations overseas... into the hands of the cheapest bidder, and out of the hands of American workers. I'm glad to see that GM is at least trying to give a good severance to those who don't make the cut, and is also giving advanced notice. They could've been bastards about the whole thing and resorted to mass unannounced layoffs. That's what my old company probably would have done...
