It is illegal to hire illegal immigrants but those laws need enforcing. It is the job of The Executive (President Obama) to enforce the laws passed by Congress. But Obama is trying to legislate in place of Congress to allow illegal immigrants to not only remain in the country, but to work here as well.

There was a recent Supreme Court case about the issue which left in place a lower court opinion stating that Obama did not have the right to do what he did.

Thus, while you are correct, it is a systems issue of our federal government refusing to do the job according to The Constitution and enforce the law that leads to the suffering of many Americans who have lost jobs to illegal immigrants.
