How and should I report GC fraud?

If a crime has been committed, then there is some moral (though probably not legal) obligation to report it.

Actually, yes, there is a legal obligation:
Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Jurisprudence however shows that in practice it is only prosecuted it the felony is actively concealed by the person with the knowledge:
The mere failure to report a felony is not sufficient to constitute a violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 4.

So, the OP doesn't risk 3 years in prison by not reporting it, but I agree with others here: she has a moral obligation to send a(n anonymous) tip to the USCIS with the information she has and the details she knows. That way it is up to the USCIS to decide to pursue it or not. The child birth certificate is easy enough proof that something fishy is going on.
It is abusers like the objects of this story that make the immigration procedures so much harder and more complicated for all of us. Hiding their crimes is not helping. Massaging their crimes away under notions of "This "man" who paid money, probably have 4 kids oversees living a crappy life while her dad is here working for VERY VERY small amount of money (less than min. wage) just to feed their kids..." If that's the case, where did he get the money to travel to the US, to pay a woman to pose as his wife, etc?

They have the rights to go back home, no one can stop them but they don't have the immigrant rights because laws don't protect illegal immigrants, therefore, they don't have the immigrant rights like the legal immigrants does. I am just voicing my thoughts. Why during the rally, they don't say they want "illegal immigrant rights"? All the signs, people speaking to the reporters are all saying about they are immigrants, they want immigrants rights. They should be saying they are illegal immigrants but had contributed somewhat to this country such as paying taxes so they need to have some laws to protect illegal immigrants whereas they just simply demand legal immigrant rights.

Last time I checked, unemployment was at 7.6%, most likely rising in the coming months.
Today's news, California (where many illegal immigrants are) is over 10%.

Maybe it's time to put some americans who receive fat welfare checks paid also by my tax dollars to work. Ah, Americans don't want to do that kind of work? Too bad, take welfare away and things will change.
Coming to another country by breaking its laws the very same moment you put your foot on the ground is not a very good start.
