Sort of. Everyone is required to provide satisfactory identification to the police when requested. If you are unable to show ID, the police have the option of holding you in custody until they are able to ascertain your identity. If no one can bring your ID to the police station, then a computer search will be made of available databases to confirm the information you have given orally and this process includes checking digital photographs to see if they are of you.

Keep in mind that everyone is required by law to have a drivers license on their person while operating a motor vehicle. ID is also required to enter the boarding area of an airport and to enter a federal building.

Should immgrants have to carry national id cards to prove their Americans?

US citizens, including naturalized ones, are already required to provide identification when requested. This is usually in the form of a state-issued photo ID. Foreigners with legal resident status in the US are required to carry green cards issued by the federal government. Foreigners with valid visas are required to carry their passports. Foreigners without valid visas are not eligible for any ID card issued by the US federal government and are subject to detention and deportation by immigration agents. So, all immigrants in the US are already required to present ID when requested, but that ID can be either state or federal. The federal government does not appear to want to implement a system of mandatory national ID cards, despite creating the new US Passport Card. Instead, Congress has enacted the REAL ID ACT which sets minimum standards for states issuing drivers licenses and non-driver IDs.
