You know what else is really suspicious and highly risks you being caught?
Not having an ID for the vast amount of things that require one. That means never interacting with a cop ever for any reason, never seeing a single doctor, never having alcohol or cigs legally, and numerous other places you need an ID of some form. Also never getting that government assistance that you will hugely need because working off the books is poverty chump change.
You know what's easier than that? Stealing an ID, usually of a dead person who isn't going to be calling the cops because they are dead.
The way I see it is that they'd be best off keeping a low profile and working off the books.
That would mean that ID fraud wouldn't be beneficial to them, as it increases the risk of getting caught.
