Texas is not required to regard ID documents as “official acts of other states” when it has reason to believe the documents may contain false information and were not authorized by the state in question. Same goes for real state-issued ID documents obtained fraudulently by illegal aliens. No state is required to put aside common sense when evaluating ID documents.

By your reasoning, anyone can be arrested and held indefinitely on suspicion that their ID is forged.

REASONABLE suspicion that their ID is forged. And not “indefinitely”, but for a reasonable period of time while authorities are investigating the person’s identity.

If we’re ever going to rid our country of illegal aliens (both the economic variety and the terrorist variety), “conservatives” better get over their hatred of serious ID systems. We have illegal aliens running all over the country with various forms of false identification. Some of it is stolen or forged from stolen identities, and some of it is issued by legitimate state offices where someone is accepting bribes. If nobody is required to be able to really PROVE who they are, then we might as well give up arresting anybody for anything.
