Youtube is full of videos of people at these checkpoints. One I like in particular has the guy politely refusing to answer if he is a citizen and when he is asked to pull over to "secondary", he politely says "no thank you" several times then "Am I free to go". And they just nod and say "go ahead".
The point that these guys are making is that you don't have to answer the citizenship question OR produce ID unless there is probable cause that you've done something wrong. Can't fault them for exercising their rights. Interesting that a lot of guys on here would be pretty upset if law enforcement tried to take their gun (a 2nd Amendment right) but don't seem perturbed by unlawful search and seizures (4th Amendment protection). As some here have said, it sounds a lot like "ze paperz pleeze". A famous guy said something like "I may disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it".
Myself? I'd probably answer the question and be on my way.
