So instead of using the existing systems that we have in place to make sure that everyone is paying their income tax, etc., you'd like to remake all of capitalism? Your picture of illegal immigrants being quickly caught and deported in the UK and Germany (the nations in the EU where this problem is biggest) is fantastical. The investments in information and enforcement have not been made. As Scandinavian countries go cashless -- making it very hard to cheat on taxes and pay people under the table -- you really have to wonder why Europe as a whole can't do better on immigration.
