I don’t like it either. I don’t understand the purpose when we have birth certificates and driver’s licenses.

Besides, it still doesn’t address those here legally on visas (work and school) who are not citizens, or those in the process of becoming citizens.

F-1 and H-1 (and their dependents) are required to carry their documentation with them at all times; while undergoing the process to modify their status (whether to change to another visa category, or to become perm res) they are issued and must carry identification documents attesting to their legal presence. It’s a bit of a hassle, but it’s not that bad.
