Garcia v. Clinton

Facts

Garcia claims he was born in Laredo, Texas, on July 26, 1975, and applied for a U.S. passport on June 18, 2009. His application was denied on November 4, 2010, due to failure to respond to a request for additional information, suspicions about his birth attendant, and the discovery of a Mexican birth certificate.
