The Bush administration, as the Post reported as far back as 2008, found that there was “a history of birth certificate forgeries” in southern Texas “for Mexican-born children dating to the 1960s.”
Citing an administration official, the Post also reported that “the federal government won convictions against dozens of South Texas midwives from 1967 through 1997 for fraudulently registering births that they did not deliver.”
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, which no longer exists, said in 2002 that “at least” 65 midwives had been convicted of this type of fraud since the 1960s and that there were “about” 15,000 fraudulent birth certificates issued to people born in Mexico.
This is all data printed in the Washington Post, and yet, strangely, none of it was included in Robinson’s column.
