Why make it so hard for American citizens to get in, but so easy for

We are talking about going through customs, not wading across the
river. I always get waved through with a "do you have anything to
declare" but a latin looking person better have his papers in order.

I am aware of these new rules and I do have a new passport coming,
just in case they are profiling rednecks some day. The picture on mine
looks like my high school yearbook picture and so does my driver's
license. I need to show my CCW if they want a recent picture.
I am in the 'everyone should have a passport', or a national ID of some
sort, camp. It works for the Europeans.

We already have one - it's called a driver's license.

Some states only require a phone bill or a electric bill to confirm
residency in the state rather than citizenship in the USA.

That's true, but that could be changed easily and with very little
effort.

Besides, the Nazi's, Soviets, and other associated socialists could take
away your electric bill also. Of course they'd wait until you paid it.
