A drivers license SHOULD be enough proof, but that forces issuing states to only issue licenses to U.S. Citizens. I support that too.
So now it comes out. No more resident aliens? No more people here working towards their citizenship LEGALLY? So under your idea, that would allow pretty much ONLY naturalized citizens to have licenses. That's a VERY bad idea, and somehow I'm NOT surprised.
There are better and EASIER ways of proving ones citizenship (Birth certificates anyone?) instead of this way.

Birth certificates are the most fraudulently used citizenship document.

You make a valid point about resident aliens, green card holders, etc. who can legally obtain drivers licenses. Yes, they should be able to obtain such licenses, however it should be stamped clearly on the license that the holder is NOT a U.S. resident. Many states issue licenses that have such a stamp in red lettering or similar that states that a minor is under the age of 21 and such. It is not a new thing. Either that, or states must issue a separate voter ID which includes a photo.

States can now issue licenses which signify underage drivers, or note driver restrictions such as needing corrective eye wear. So, a Drivers License can be issued to legal nonresidents, with a seal or stamp, or other mark indicating the driver is not a citizen.
Those who don't want non-citizens identified to keep our republic OURS...will always find something wrong with required ID, they will not want to find a solution.
