Apparently, the questionnaire asks whether the person was BAPTIZED or circumcised. The inclusion of "circumcision" appears to be a politically correct attempt by US officials to avoid being targeted by liberal Jews as having a "religious bias". Of course, few Mexicans have religious circumcisions as infants; but baptismal certificates have been used for centuries as proof of birth in Christian countries. Besides religious circumcision, surgical circumcision for health reasons has been practiced by the majority of non-Jewish Americans for decades. At least, when I attended public school and got to see the results in the locker room, that was the case. In fact, I don't even recall seeing uncircumcised boys at all. Perhaps that has changed in recent years. The bottom line is, most Americans of my generation were circumcised within days of birth; and there is usually some sort of hospital record of this fact.
