You’re missing the part where they inevitably enact national ID & universal biometric identification. The very things conservatives once claimed would be unacceptable tyranny or even the mark of the Beast, but which they will blindly accept as legitimate because Trump, their god and king, says so.
Native-born American citizens don't have "immigration documents". And there's no requirement for naturalized citizens to carry their paperwork, either. And only about half of US citizens have a passport.
This is just fascism.
