Yeah that and there's tons of countries where it's easy to get a long-term visa or immigration status that doesn't allow you to work. I can also name plenty of countries where as long as you don't work (and even possibly if you do) your chances of getting deported as an illegal immigrant are about zero unless you've done something to really piss off the community. One of the more amusing is Argentina -- you can literally show up on day one, file a case for citizenship, and your court docket serves as 'citizenship' for prevention of deportation. In the USA, if you don't seek employment and stay out of the 100 mile 'constitution-free' zone and live in a state that doesn't link the criminal justice system to immigration (I think California is an example) I think the chance of getting caught as an illegal immigrant are about zero unless you catch a felony or something.
