Kids don't even have papers to check. At most they have a school ID, which the school possibly gives to all students. Are they going to kidnap anyone who goes on a field trip without their birth certificate?

I've heard that Mexican families are having their children carry a photocopy of their birth certificate on their person at all times.

Birth certificate isn't enough for trump, cause being born in the USA isn't considered a citizen to him.

You'd literally need a passport on you at all times to prove your citizenship, there's no other form of ID in the US that can prove your status.
