The Mexican ambassador to the United States is urging more Mexican citizens living abroad to apply for U.S. citizenship, ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's administration.

Ambassador Carlos Sada Solana told Mexican state news agency Notimex Tuesday that applying for citizenship could be an important defense against deportation and other actions if Trump changes U.S. immigration policies.

"It's one of the very important protection actions to become citizens, because then they're no longer subject to deportation processes and on the other hand, they don't lose Mexican citizenship," he told Notimex.

Why bother?

Obama already said that nobody checks immigration status at the polls and “when you vote you are a citizen”

Has anyone ever wondered why it is of utmost importance to mexico to have as many of their citizens as humanly possible to not live in Mexico? There must be a reason.

HOW can the US continue to honor “Dual Citizenship” when one of the requirements is to denounce allegiance to any other government / state? This, just like birthright citizenship need to GO.

“”It's one of the very important protection actions to become citizens, because then they're no longer subject to deportation processes and on the other hand, they don't lose Mexican citizenship,” he told Notimex.”

So, essentially this guy is saying ‘go flood the US, send us money, become a citizen there, and stay a citizen here. There's absolutely no respect for the US in that. Why don't we deal with our uninsured by encouraging them to apply for Canadian citizenship, getting the Canadian system to pay for health care, but maintaining US citizenship. It's equivalent.

Already proven by California.

It must really hurt the ego to be am ambassador for a failed state that can only remain in existenceby excreting their lowest castes to a more successful, and freer, and less racist country.

All those proud Mexicans who come here and proudly proclaim they are proud Mexicans living in this racist country don’t even realize their own nation doesn’t want them. And they are more than happy to come here and live under the radar and collect gibs from taxpayers.

Someone who is here illegally should not be able to apply for citizenship. It doesn’t make sense.

Doesn’t sound like Mr. Ambassador is particularly proud of his own country. I wonder why...

Mexico totally leeches off the United States. The only way for its failed economic system to survive is to export as much of its population as it can, and then have them send money back to the country.

Americans turning up after sneaking across the border in Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez or any other Mexican border town, demanding Mexican citizenship would be met with what? Laughter at best, prison more likely.

good idea...now we’ll know where they’re hiding...but the ones I really want the government to deport the hell out of country are the FREaKIN MUSLIMS!!! At least the majority of Hispanics believe in Jesus and are family oriented. Hispanics can intermarriage and become good citizens as with the Muslim community you mingle or get married out of their evil religion they’ll go after the female daughter and they’ll honorably disposed of her!

The Mexican judges tell the criminals they can go to jail or go to the US.

From everything I can find on the web, anyone in the U.S. illegally is prohibited from applying for citizenship (with the possible exception of those "children" eligible under the Dream act).

Only those in the country legally are allowed to apply for citizenship.

If someone is here legally, I have no problem with them applying for citizenship.

The Founders utterly failed when it came to “birthright citizenship”.

No sane nation in the world would have such a policy and hope to survive.

Ridiculous advice from an uninformed fool-if someone can’t show/doesn’t have a legal visa, green card, etc they are not eligible to apply for citizenship and can be deported...

According to the govt of Mexico, illegals on US soil are, in fact, Mexican citizens.

==============================================

AFFIDAVIT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO
IN A SWORN AFFIDAVIT TO A TEXAS COURT, MEXICO
SWORE THAT MEXICANS ON US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A sworn affidavit by Mexico/s Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico/s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system

The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts that: "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad."

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.

==========================================

Ergo, illegals have two governments looking after their interests.....our govt subsidizing them, and the Mexican govt making sure they collect.

Its time the US govt look after the interests of American citizens.
