They’re going door to door and just arresting anyone who doesn’t have papers right away. Do you carry proof of your citizenship everywhere you go?

You shouldn't have to, I totally agree there. "Papers please" sounds very facist, in the real non-exaggerated sense.

Coincidentally, I do carry my US passport card with me everywhere. It's only good for overland travel to Mexico and Canada (you still need the full passport for international flights) but it's a "Real ID" and proves my citizenship.

You could be a citizen and know people or even have family who are not, thus making you affected regardless.

Is she an American citizen who can vote?

Or did somebody just hang about outside the conference centre offering $50 to any foreign looking people to get up on stage and spout a load of bullshit?

It's also possible she's talking about family members who are documented immigrants but not citizens.
