What do you mean by illegal migrant in United States?
The majority of illegal aliens in the USA simple overstay their visas and there are very little safeguards to prevent this. The second major group simply walk/drive across the border in the middle of nowhere bypassing the legal requirements completely. At one time, the army (US Cavalry) patrolled the borders (the reason for the slew of forts along the borders) but this mission was at some point passed to the Border Patrol with its way too small funding. Employers often hide the fact and have been largely shielded from prosecution and police in the USA can not simply stop people and demand ID as there is a large non-white/black population here that is legal and doing so would infringe on their Constitutional rights. The only thing that can be done is to demand from everyone positive and multiple government issued IDs for any employment, voting, licenses, or whatever and penalize severely employers who do not do this but that has been fought by them rather successfully.
