2. I honestly think the Texas physician was most likely innocent of fraud.

The accusation came from an unnamed Mexican doctor who claimed there was a forgery.

And if a US-born child attempts to go to school in Mexico (say one parent was ordered to leave or visa expired, so the family goes to Mexico to stay together), just having the regular US stamped birth certificate is not enough for them. They need it "Apostilled" -- a process under the Hague Convention to say a document is authentic, which families leaving in a hurry wouldn't know to do for their child's BC whie still in the States.

Some articles indicate it took over a year to get USC children enrolled in school in Mexico through the proper channels.

So the easiest thing to do is get a Mexican doctor to issue a fake Mexican birth certificate. Which several of the people holding US birth certificates showing their child was born in a birthing center did for their kids thinking it was the only way to get them enrolled. It's FAR easier to get fake Mexican documents than US ones.

So what do you think is more likely? A Mexican doctor caught out issuing fake certificates placing the blame on a dead doctor who delivered 15,000 babies in 55 years of practice, or even a significant percentage of those 15,000 people (generations -- just like the doc who saw my mom when she was pregnant with me was my first gynecologist, he delivered babies, then delivered those children's babies when they were grown) not really being citizens?
