The baby was born to an American Citizen and is therefore American.  It would have been wise if the baby's birth was registered at the American Embassy or Consulate in Mexico to reduce problems in the future.

i had a child from mexico that was here illegally through foster care.   it was a eye opener to a different culture and a better understanding of what she and her family went through here in the states.   i have more tolerance to slow down and listen and try to help when i communicate then i use to do in the past.   i had her for eight months and was down to the wire to adopting her rather then have her deported but at the last minute they found a family member in mexico that was able to take her and her siblings.   i miss her a lot out of all my foster kids.

my wife has that problem, everyone calls her mexican. mexican is a nationality not a race. wife's father is apache and her mother is from spain.

Kick her back to mexico and the extradite her and charge her with child endangerment and exploitation.\nThe mexican government has no business involving themselves into the affairs of the great United States of America.\nClean up your own house first then you can tell others to clean up their house.

No.. It is a citizen of the country where it was born.. This is a GREAT fallacy in our American system.... HOWEVER.. when the baby returns to the U.S. with its parents, it can easily be change to an American citizenship

No, it would be best if you find a way back to mexico right now, it will be harder to walk in the desert with a baby.\n To bad you cant stay and take advantage of Americans\n Bye Bye

It depends on the status of the matter it is a case to case basis. If the mother is an american citizen it is faster for the daughter to be petitioned.

If she married an American in America, she doesn't need a green card, she is automatically a citizen, unless her marriage is BOGUS, and illegal, which it probably is since she had no ID. There is something wrong with this question, I think it's BOGUS, too.

Depends on where you are born (or live). I was born in Wisconsin, so I am American. I have a friend who was born in Peru, but he moved hear and became a citizen of the U. S. he is American. There are plenty of white people who reside in Mexico. They are Mexicans. There are plenty of people from Mexico, who now are U.S. citizens. They are Americans. There are also plenty of people from Mexico, who moved here and haven't become citizens. They are Mexicans, and should go back home.\n\n\nLong Live Jambi

The outcome would be a large amnesty, but this issue could be solve by an anchor baby becoming the president of the United States., A Mexican American president Would be very nice. that way we could be a very large country, stronger indeed. I like the Idea.

Technically you're correct.  You'd do a better job making your point without the capital letters.\n\nYes, Mexico is part of North America, thus Mexicans are also Americans.  As a matter of fact they're a member of the Organization of American States (OAS).  \n\nThe answer to your question is "history."  The U.S.A. is the only country to use "America" in it's name.  It's a lot short to refer to someone as an "American" rather than a "United States of American".  Over time that was just the accepted terminology.  There's lots of terminology out there that isn't 100% precise.  Get over it.  It's no denigration of other countries.

You're American. I guess you can be considered both. I pressume, even if both your parent's were born in America, but you look Mexican, most people will consider you "Mexican-American". \n\nI think you should just be a plain "American", because we don't say Irish-American or French-American, this is the only country built on the welcoming principle, that shouldn't change. We can change the world on person at a time.
