Are there any outward signs?

that a person may be in this country illegally? When I go to England they know right off I am not from England. What would be a dead give-a -way for them possibly being illegal? I know you can't just look at a person and tell but there must be other signs to raise suspicion

I'd say a good clue would be the lack of ability to speak fluent English while not looking like a tourist.

There is no outward sign to tell you if someone is an illegal or not.

Not knowing English isn't one. Many, many legal immigrants, as well as dual US/? citizens don't know English or have a poor grasp of it. Knowing English isn't a requirement to immigrate, just to become a citizen it is needed. So that isn't one.

Hmmm...well...sometimes several people will rent a house and share the costs. But we have known seasonal migrant workers, who were legal, who did this..so this isn't necessarily a way to tell either.

I am at a loss as to what other signs would raise suspicion.

"They drive the speed limit"
Heard this from a radio personality's guest.

The full question was:
"So Jose, how do we tell the difference between a naturalized citizen like you and an illegal?"
"Well, they all drive under the speed limit. 55 mph on highway."
"I see. Wait, what?"

In my neighborhood: If your family of 13 lives in a one-room garage conversion - And your wife and mother are digging through my trash every night - And you drive a 30 year old pick up loaded down with gardening equipment - And your US-born sons are covered with gang tats and wave guns in my face and call me "gringa" every time they pass my house... I would have my sneaking suspicions that you are illegal. Unfortunately there are only two people on my block that DON'T fit this description.

It's easy for the limeys. They see somebody with great teeth, like me, and they know that they're foreign. Limeys have lousy teeth. They need some socialized toothpaste!
