We know what the problem is. You have. as Senator DEWINE said. the fraudulent documents that are all being duplicated fraudulently down at the border when we might be able to do something about tamperproof elements. But unless we are going to deal with the breeder document. which is the birth certificate. we are really not going to be able to get a handle not only on illegal immigration. but also on protecting the taxpayers. because people will be able to use the birth certificate to demonstrate that they are a citizen and then draw down on the various programs. That. I think. really makes a sham of a great deal of what is being attempted at this time.
