The irony with that is that if someone undocumented wanted to leave the country, this requirement could potentially hinder that.

I also don't really want to have to carry my green card around everywhere. Just one more thing that can be lost.

How would it?

To travel internationally, a passport is required (not drivers licenses).

I might have been being more simplistic than I needed to be, because there are other travel methods, but I was more meaning, "Not everyone lives next door to an international hub" (so might need a connecting domestic flight).
