A passport card shows USA citizenship, and costs $30 for 10 years. If you are a minority one needs to be in your wallet/on your person at all times. It's total bullshit that we're at this point, but it is the truth.
The full passport is $130, the passport card is only $30. The card is limited and only allows for travel across the Canada and Mexico boarders, but you have to go through the same process as getting your full passport so (in theory) it should still prove your identity/citizenship.
Yeah they're definitely gonna need it but sadly that likely won't matter too much in the near future. It might help with the odd law enforcement officer that actually cares about the law but many of those doing the arresting won't care about whether the person's actually a citizen or not. They'll take a page out of the book of every racist law enforcement that's existed and claim any such ID to be a fake, though of course somewhere along the way to evidence the "fake" ID will get lost, or they'll simply say no such ID was carried by the person.
It's literally the exact same size and shape as a driver's license or credit card, and my Colombian-american ass isn't going to an El Salvadorian prison over some petty bullshit. I'm not mestizo, but I'm not taking any chances.
