Absolutely! I worked in the US for many years, and (my company) spent thousands of dollars on attorneys and visa fees, so why do they get to skip that process? And looking at it from the Mexican perspective, like you said, they have even tougher immigration laws which will absolutely throw you in jail if you start working there illegally.
