In Britain it has been a criminal offence for at least ten years to employ somebody who does not have a right to work in the country.
You won't find a car company employing such people. Germany had a special deal with Turkey, so it was very easy for Turks to work in Germany legally. I doubt that there were many illegal Turks, if any. Albanians, maybe, but I imagine that Germany tightened up its rules some time ago, like Britain.
