you have to understand how difficult it is for the Border Patrol to determine that a birth cert is not fraud...
We have 50 states, sever US non states and on top of that the numerous Native American Reseverations and every one of them issues a birth cert...
- wombatpm 8y agoActually it is even worse. Birth Death and Marriage records are recorded at the County Level. The Birth certificates for Will County Illinois and Cook County Illinois look completely different.
- slededit 8y agoMost crimes have a statute of limitations. If someone spends their whole life believing they are a US citizen it makes no sense to throw them out at the age of 40. Or even weirder - keep them inside but deny a passport. They aren't morally responsible for whatever crime was committed at the time of their birth - assuming one was even committed. Requiring proof of innocence is near impossible and ridiculous.
