Illegal immigrants from Mexico or Cuba don't have job offers, funds, or family.

Some of them might not, but quite a lot of them have at least one of those; some have all three. It's not uncommon for illegal immigrants from Mexico, particularly, to be people who would be eligible for family-based immigration but for the expense and decade plus backlog. It's also not unheard of for those that have connections in the immigrant community to have an (likely off-the-books because of documentation requirements) job lined up.
