Interestingly, Judge Curiel was born in the US but may be a citizen of both Mexico and the US, based upon the fact the his parents were citizens of Mexico, according to the judge, who was born in US. See the following excerpt from the Mexican Constitution posted on another website:
Mexicans
Article 30. Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by naturalization:
Mexicans by birth are:
Those born in the territory of the Republic, regardless of the nationality of
their parents:
Those born in a foreign country of Mexican parents; of a Mexican father and a foreign mother; or of a Mexican mother and an unknown father;
Those born on Mexican vessels or airships, either war or merchant vessels.
Mexican law does not determine U.S. citizenship.
What I have found. His father came to East Chicago (apparently to work in the Gary Steel Mills during WWII) He may have been here legally but not a citizens.
His wife joined him at a later date no specific time given
Have not been able to find even their names.
Documentation needs to be found to determine if they did become citizens !
When? Did they overstay their work visas?
There is more to this....
