Why doesn’t the city hire those migrants to build their own shelters?

Maybe someone will correct me, but I believe it’s not illegal if they are hired as independent contractors.

Edit: it’s legal to hire an independent contractor, but the contractor doing the work may be violating the immigration laws and suffer negative immigration consequences because of that.

It's illegal to employ people who do not have work authorization.

If they work for their own LLC company, who them offer services, does that violate any law?

Got it. That would be a problem for the individual running afoul the immigration laws.

Don’t forget to pay them union wages, even though they are not part of the union.

I’m trying to figure out what you’re bitter about. Making a decent wage? Union workers not making enough money? Elaborate…

Are you familiar with prevailing wages requirements? The city can’t just hire these folks at minimum wage.
