  TSA Agents staff every airport that has commercial flight traffic.
  I have flown out of there, and I assure you that no illegals would be allowed on board.
  No valid picture ID (at least a driver's license) and a valid boarding pass; no getting on the plane.

  I've never flown Allegiant nor been to Phx-Mesa Gateway. However, would like to know....is the airport security check the same as at SkyHarbor with TSA agents?? Or do Allegiant staff (and the other carrier there) or Phx-Mesa provide the checks?? My curiosity is piqued by prior "Gateway Activity" reports, for example late summer when the route to Pasco, Washington, is cut back or suspended, which generally coincides to a lower level of Ag jobs in that Mid-Columbia area. My real question is whether Phx-Mesa Gateway is the "gateway" for those illegally crossing the border through AZ to conveniently (and comfortably) get to another state and who is minding the check point?
