They’re going door to door and just arresting anyone who doesn’t have papers right away. Do you carry proof of your citizenship everywhere you go?

You shouldn't have to, I totally agree there. "Papers please" sounds very facist, in the real non-exaggerated sense.

Coincidentally, I do carry my US passport card with me everywhere. It's only good for overland travel to Mexico and Canada (you still need the full passport for international flights) but it's a "Real ID" and proves my citizenship.
