Man with U.S. birth certificate deported to Mexico
CIUDAD JUAREZ -- A birth certificate is a basic document used to determine citizenship but it was not enough to keep Luis Jaquez in the United States.
"They deported me," said Jaquez, 24 who is now living in a small house on a dirt street with his mother and other siblings in Anapra, a border community on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez.
...
For years he used his U.S. birth certificate to come back and forth across the border until last October when he was arrested at an international bridge on fraud charges.
The authenticity of his birth certificate is not in question but the government alleged it was obtained fraudulently. A federal court ruled in his favor and a jury acquitted Jaquez on February 24th but Jaquez was sent back to Mexico two days later.

Seriously? "The authenticity of his birth certificate is not in question but the government alleged it was obtained fraudulently. A federal court ruled in his favor and a jury acquitted Jaquez on February 24th but Jaquez was sent back to Mexico two days later." Where's the due process? Basic justice? The US single-handedly over-ruled a jury to deport somebody who "fraudulently" obtained a non-fraudulent birth certificate proving his US citizenship?
