Chapter 25 of Title 18 of the United States Code addresses various offenses in Counterfeiting and Forgery. The current 45 sections of the Counterfeiting and Forgery chapter essentially fall into four broad categories: 1. Financial obligations (including notes, postage, checks, securities, bonds, coins, money orders, debentures, et cetera), 2. Military and naval discharge certificates or official passes, 3. Transportation matters and motor vehicle documents, and 4. The seals of agencies (including courts, departments, and other agencies).
Feel free to read the sections for yourself but counterfeiting or forging foreign documents or currency are just as illegal as counterfeiting or forging US documents or currency under US law.
Nothing in there covering foreign birth certificates. Those are covered in Chapter 47, section 1028, and that only covers those issued by the US.
Try again.

So you really want to say that forging a phony Kenyan Birth Certificate for the President of the United States is perfectly legal?
I mean that’s what you want us to believe isn’t it?
Do you believe that you can freely duplicate and modify the official government documents of any other country in the world for the purposes of fraud without committing a crime?
