The Democratic Party’s latest talking point against the SAVE Act is almost performance art in its absurdity.

We are now expected to believe that birth certificates are mystical documents, whispered about in legend but never actually seen. They are simply too elusive for modern Americans to locate and too burdensome for a civilized society to require.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, have both recently claimed they do not know where their vital records are, as though those documents vanished into the same void as missing socks.

“I don’t have my birth certificate,” Sanders said last week. “God knows how I get it.”

If my memory serves me, both men have recently boarded flights to Europe, which requires a passport.

And passports, inconveniently, require proof of citizenship.

Proof of citizenship, in this country, generally begins with a birth certificate.

But let us humor the absurdity of the claims.
