She had the same problem in El Paso, where she's lived since in her 20's. She's always been active with local Dems and worked on Beto's campaigns. She doesn't have a birth certificate which was never a problem until a few years ago when the state of Texas questioned her citizenship. She managed to resolve everything, but it's not for nothing that Democrats are marginalized in that rotten, stinking state.
