When taken into custody they can either produce legal, adequate documentation as to identity and status or not. Additionally, most of them have been stopped at least once coming over the border illegally and were fingerprinted and photographed. They're in the ICE data base as illegal.

If the papers are real then government agencies will have copies of them on file, for example, I have a real US birth certificate and the county I live in has a copy of it on file in its computer system. I have a real social security number and social security has a copy of that in their database. My information is spread all over in various places because they are real and go back to the time of my birth with names, dates and addresses of where I lived and who I lived with.
Fake documents don't have that, stolen documents are a little trickier as they would be in the system, you have to catch those by comparing addresses and other info. Say the real owner of the documents lives in one part of the country and has lived there for years and the person who stole the identity is only on record at a place of employment for a few years in another place and doesn't have the matching records to go along with everything else.
Stolen documents are more work to identify but its not impossible. Fake ones are simple to catch because as far as the government is concerned they don't exist. The IRS even has a special department that tracks all the numbers that come in that don't match up to legally issued SSNs.
Added - I just finished reading everyone else's response to this question, and I must say you ALL need to step back for a second and really consider what she asked us. She didn't make any kind of judgement on anyone else, this question isn't pro, nor is it anti. What she asked about is the procedure of how the government checks to see if someone is legal or not.
And yes, she said Mexicans, but she also mentioned that she was asking about people she knows not just a random group of people. She would know better if they are in fact Mexicans then we would, we don't know them and she does.

When they are stopped at the border and at least 3 inland check points miles inside the border, by the Border Patrol. I have been stopped as many as 4 times for immigration checks after returning from Mexico within 30 miles from the border.
