I fail to understand why there is any discussion about this at all. If your not a US citizen, you must be here on a visa or a passport. If your not a US citizen, not here on a visa, or visiting on a passport, your in the country illegally and your a criminal. Period.

When I visit Germany, I am a guest there and I need to carry my passport with me at all times. Visit another country, carry your passport with you at all times. It's common sense. I always carry my passport when I travel down to Mexico. This is no different. If he's not a US citizen, and cannot produce a passport, police cannot determine if he is in the US legally and he must be confined until they can verify that.
