"Wait a minute! Nobody on the Ark was that ugly!"

Seriously. Cage could not infiltrate Camp Jaha or any other part of the station with survivors, because the total population of the Ark was not that much before it came down. Even including the ones who died in that culling, and the ones on the hijacked dropship that crashed, still less than 3,000. Granted, it can be enough of a population that a person would not know every other person aboard the Ark (I attended a high school with more than 2,000 students, and I certainly did not know all of them), but by now, any survivors of a particular portion of the Ark should know who is with them and who isn't. Figure, a couple hundred per section that came down; that is a small enough number to start recognizing everyone around you.

Also, Cage just does not know enough of Ark culture. If he came wandering up to one of the crashed sections, the first question he'd be asked if he tried to claim he was from another section is "Which station did you come from?" Does he even know the names of the stations of the Ark? I doubt it. He'd do better claiming to be a "friendly" grounder, like Dante tried with Clarke, though she didn't trust him.
