Why is hiring someone to do your legal proceedings bad? People are hiring other people all day long to to tasks for them in every aspect of the lives. And if these people mess up why should you not hold them responsible for it?
If I screw up as paramedic or lawyer I will stand to my obligations towards my patients/clients.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that hiring someone to do your legal proceedings is bad. But not following through with your
own legal responsibilities or obligations (
such as correcting the issues of citizenship, legal work permits, or immigration), then using the legal system to punish someone else who didn't follow through seems a bit bent to me.
If a lwayer, doctor, or paramedic failed at their job, of course they'd be accountable. But then, you can be sure they followed all the appropriate steps needed to get there and become accountable, too.
The issue for me is not that the lawyers didn't do their job, but that the knowingly
illegal workers are expecting them to follow rules they themselves do not feel obligated to. Yes, the lawyers screwed up, but aren't those who persist in remaining illegal when they've more than enough opportunity not to be screwing things up too?
