A belated (very belated) Happy Birthday to Don Enrique
Enrique Quintero Medina, of San Quintín, Baja California, is one of the estimated several thousand Mexicans who have never received a birth certificate. Most, like Don Enrique, are indigenous farm workers and about half were live in Baja California.
While this creates problems — without a birth certificate, there is no way to register for school, or obtain a voter ID, or — well, prove you exist — Don Enrique has been managing to get by somehow… for some time now.
Having turned 111 last month, Quintero doesn’t think it’s such a big deal finally having proof that he was born 15 April 1897 in Badiraguato, Sinaloa. “What’s this for?,” he asked.
An official birth certificate will make it possible to enroll Don Enrique for some social services and health benefits… which unfortunately do not include what he really cares about — his daily tequila and cigarettes.

Was that an anti-socialism post? No Way!
HUH??? “Very old workers unite… you have nothing to lose but your tequila”?
Just the wonders of inefficient bureaucracy, which is sometimes a blessing 🙂
