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.
