I would have the requirements be that you are A) born to American citizen or B) adopted by an American citizen or C) have come to the country through the front door and gone through the (admittedly lengthy) process of becoming a citizen.
As far as when freedom would "end"....tough to put an exact line in the sand.
There is no expectation of privacy in a public place. Keep the government out of my home, from looking into my home or listening to what is happening in my home (without the appropriate court approved warrants).
In public, they can take my picture, record my voice, video tape me, watch me to their hearts content. I'm in public.
As long as my Constitutional rights are not being violated, I'm cool. I fail to see how stopping illegal immigration or even having a national ID card (assuming I don't have to present it at the whim of a government official) violates those.
