Honestly, your speaking about hypotheticals and hyperbole, but no law or policy calls for searching children on playgrounds.

In reality, children are enrolling in public schools, WIC and welfare, and getting state-sponsored medical care who aren't here legally because some states (California for example) don't require ID to enroll. Isn't today a milestone day for the state of California because it is officially bankrupt unless other states (responsible states?) bail it out?

In SC and TX, when I enroll my children for school every year, I need to provide birth certificates and social security cards... reasonable id checks before enrolling them in tax-funded public services.

In contrast to the lax US, when we travel in Brazil with my small children, not only do we need their picture IDs even to board a simple bus going from one city to the next, we also need a notarized letter from their state of residence AND a letter from that state verifying that the notary who signed said letter is actually a verified notary, in order to ride that bus. Even with all of this paperwork on us, we routinely get detained while they call various offices to verify our papers, and we schedule a couple extra hours for travel to compensate for this. We aren't even getting on a plane to leave the country... we're taking a BUS! We are clearly being racially profiled because Gatinha is a typical Brazilain "brown" skinned woman, but our children are atypically porcelain white, blue eyed and blond. We don't resent being stopped all the time for this documentation because Brazil is addressing a huge problem they have with child kidnapping and trafficking. I APPRECIATE that it is difficult to travel with our small children in Brazil, because it would hopefully save my children should they one day get taken from us.

A society has to do what it can to protect its citizens and vulnerable populations when there is a need and a problem. Our social services in the US are literally being bankrupt, so the need and problem is factually there. Fact checking citizens when enrolling for services is not an unreasonable step. Calling for manufactured outrage and demanding NOT to check IS unreasonable, because its only motivation is to garner votes at the expense of the society's sovereignty.

To expect a country to forgo its sovereignty and solvency so its citizens can walk around in unchecked anarchy mingling with likewise unchecked illegals is unreasonable. You'll eventually be "free" in a lawless bankrupt society of no value to its citizens.
