The introduction of the digital ID in the UK presupposes that people who are not legally entitled to live and work in the UK are using regular legal channels to do so. This has to be the case if the stated intended purpose of the digital ID is to be believed.
I would suggest that people illegally working and living in the UK already avoid legal channels, as such, the stated intended purpose of the digital ID is moot and likely another white elephant that could quickly eclipse HS2, which will at least, serve a useful purpose when it's finally complete.
Now I'll acknowledge that the government may well be lying about the intended purpose of the digital ID, but I tend to agree with the principle of Hanlon's Razor; why assume malicious intent when incompetence is more likely. If anyone is doubting the incompetence of the Labour government, then I doubt their competence to make that judgement.
In answer to the wave (tsunami?) of illegal immigration and illegal workers, the simple solution is for people to stop employing people illegally. For those hoping for a cheaper price or a nice little tax dodge, that means stopping buying things that "fell off the back of a lorry", paying a builders under the table, and using pirate taxis, and such like. It might cost a few quid, but it'll improve everything for everyone in the long run.
So put simply, if you want to stop Illegal immigrants working illegally, stop employing them!
