Mom kinda thinks like this. I told her that no one should even be asked to prove their identity like that in public. She’d be more firmly on the right if my father isn’t tempering her.
My parents are reversed, with my mom tempering my dad’s conservatism. But it’s the same basic idea. My mom and I will be discussing whatever Government Atrocity of the WeekTM is making the news cycle, and my dad will basically go “good, I hope it sucks for {victim}. If they don’t like it, they can leave.”
Gee, and you wonder why I don’t ever want to hang out…

My retort to a lot of these people is to ask if they can prove their citizenship right now, on the spot.
They can’t.
