If a cop rolled up on you, could you prove right then and there you are a citizen? Unless you habitually carry your passport or birth certificate or immigration papers, almost certainly not.
Are you going to have any way to prove it while you are in a holding facility with no access to a lawyer or at best a public defender who has heard the same story 80 times today?
This certainly wouldn't be the first time an American Citizen got deported.

This would be a good time to remind everyone that you can actually get a passport card that will fit in your wallet:

Yes, a lot of us can because our licenses provide that verification.
Are licenses not like that in other states?
You don't have to be a citizen to get a license in a lot of places. I actually don't know of any that do but clearly I'm not fully informed.
I don't think illegals can get a license here.
Non-citizens have to provide documentation to convert their out-of-country license.
Looks like anyone who has a "non-compliant" license is able to maintain it but new ones are no longer issued.
Illegals are a significant form of labor in this red state but the state hates them.
I doubt that will work under Trump plan. Better not be brown and if you are carry that passport thing or something.
Why would Trump roll back anti-illegal license requirements? That's kinda his thing.
