An illegal person shouldn't have a drivers liscense... except maybe from California.

but they could have one from mexico just as i would have one from canada.

The requirements for a license are more specific than "show one, and you're off." They will only accept licenses from states that require a check before issuing one. (Obviously, AZ is one of them, so they will accept their own licenses.) A license from another country does not prove eligibility to be here, and thus, would not be accepted for this. It would let you avoid driving without a license, though...

i understand, but what im really after is...if the police suspect someone of being an illegal immigrant...how could they determine wether they are really an illegal or just visiting.

Because someone who is just visiting legally will have documentation to back that up; either they will have a stamped passport that indicates the date of entry (for short term stays) or they will have a visa which indicates the terms and conditions that the person is allowed to be in the country.
Edit: And (depending on the country) if you leave your country legally your government will have kept track of your departure; so even if you lost your documentation you could resolve any significant issues by contacting your embassy.
