Truck Driver Arrested Outside Phoenix, Forced to Show Birth Certificate

The man was born in Fresno, CA. He was stopped at a weigh station and asked for his ID. He produced his CDL and they rejected it. They wanted his birth certificate, which his wife had to go home to get and deliver. They try to hide behind saying he didn't have the proper paperwork to have his truck inspected, but why is it that it was only his birth certificate they were after?
I don't know why ICE was harassing this guy nor do I really care but you hit the sweet spot if you think immigration should be inforced by the Feds and Feds only. I don't think that the bill itself is terrible or fatally flawed but The fact that it had to be written in the first place reflects poorly on the Feds ability to enforce it's own immigration laws.
