Lots of problems with the cool states writing local laws to deny. First federal law overrules state laws. Second, what happens when you try to travel? You can no longer get on a plane without your papers, I mean, National ID.
The problems with travel do not stop there. Say I live in a state where I do not need my papers. Then I travel by car to another state that requires you to have your papers. Some states may even require you to swipe your ID when you pass through toll booths. You are no longer free to travel your own country.
The law needs to be challenged constitutionally for anything real to stop it from happening.

FYI most the "cool" states have already written laws localy to deny this from ever happening...
