In this Aug. 30, 2010 photo, Alfredo Pagan holds up his birth certificate in Cleveland. Pagan was turned down for a state-issued Ohio identification card because his birth certificate from Puerto Rico was considered invalid

This is another example of bureaucratic incompetence and the modern education system.

It’s like the guy in the Clinton era who was denied by dumba$$ liberal a grant because “New Mexico is not in the United States.”

Easy, change your name to Pedro Gonzales and refuse to speak English. The Ohil dim-bulbs will give you two or three licenses (to use as spares....)

In the past, Puerto Rico was an easy way into the U.S. from the Spanish Caribbean, particularly from the Domonican Republic. They would go to Puerto Rico, get a birth certificate for a dead Puerto Rican, then move on to the mainland U.S. There are several hundred thousand Dominicans in NYC alone.

The simple solution would be to go over to Mexico, sneak back over illegally, and demand your right to have a driver’s license.

This is nuts, but maybe there is some bureaucratic snafu that explains by means of non explanation why a US citizen can’t be respected as a US citizen.

Newsflash to Elizabeth Torres and her son...
every birth certificate from Puerto Rico is not considered legal INSIDE Puerto Rico as of this summer....

The fraud is so rampant the PR legislature had to take this step....

It looks a whole lot more legit than my Ohio birth certificate (invest in some decent paper and quality printing equipment, you cheap bastards!)

His beef should be with Puerto Rico, not Ohio. Just contact Puerto Rico and get a new birth certificate.
