Under its Senate Bill 1070, law enforcement offers can require an individual to prove he has legal status. Legal immigrants are also required to carry identification under federal laws.
Title 8, Chapter 12, Section 1304 of the U.S. Code requires every alien age 18 or older to carry the certificate or registration receipt at all times.
Under federal laws, immigrants at least 18 years of age must carry a valid Permanent Resident Card at all times.
You must produce the card when requested to do so by a law enforcement officer or government agent. The card, often called a "green card," serves as proof of legal status and qualifies you for work.

SB1070 required immigrants to carry “green cards” the size of a Social Security care and not a brief case of documents. “Show me your papers” can be a “green card” or a legal “drivers license” which one has to show proof of birth to get.
