Anybody know what makes a person "illegal"?

I've got a client in a case where her accuser is from central America. It is my job to defend my client, who is innocent (I know, snicker, but this time it is true .... she's in her late 80's and is no bigger than a minute). The accuser is a young woman. I want to know if she is here legally, and I honestly do not know how to determine that without researching it. Since so many here know so much about so many different things (and, I reference my response to my flooring inquiry last week as a point in case ---- and thanks to all who've advised, it matters), perhaps some of you may know what "papers" constitute "legal papers" as far as documenting someone's authorized presence in our country. Visas are easy enough to forge. So, what else should I be looking for in terms of "papers" and how to determine their authenticity. Your help may save my gal some money!
