 John Fonte on Mexico & U.S. & Dual Citizenship on National Review Online
However, under a 1998 Mexican law these new American citizens could retain "Mexican nationality" and even their children, who are born in the U.S., could claim Mexican dual citizenship.
Amselle was referring to the official Mexican government policy of acercamiento ("getting closer" or "establishing a bond") to "Mexican communities abroad," meaning both Mexican citizens living in the United States and Mexican Americans who are U.S. citizens.
Since this concept would, by definition, include not only Mexican migrants who sometimes work north of the Rio Grande, but also millions of American citizens of Mexican descent, many of whom were born in the United States — it is clearly in contradiction to traditional American principles of civic assimilation and immigrant loyalty.
