The fact that it is a "civil" infraction rather than a "criminal infraction" doesn't really change the argument. And, from a practical standpoint, it's pretty hard to enter the U.S. illegally and to stay in the U.S. without breaking some criminal statute along the way, unless you've got a generous benefactor who's willing to provide you with everything you need.
Since American employers are required to hire only those who are in the U.S. legally (or they will face criminal prosecution) every job applicant in America is asked about their residency status. Lie about that and you've committed fraud. Tell the truth about that and the illegal won't be hired.
