See? When the man in uniform demands, "Papers, please!" simply pull out your passport or birth certificate that we all must keep on our person at all times as American citizens. This is normal and fine!

Moreover, as for stops of those individuals who are legally in the country, the questioning in those circumstances is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.
