I am not sure that it matters what Mexican law says.

My suspicion is that the courts will ultimately find that “natural born citizen” simply means that you were a citizen from birth.

US law at the time(1907) stated that children born to American citizens(Fathers) abroad ARE US citizens. Mexican law in 1907 stated that children born to aliens/foreigners in Mexico were aliens/foreigners as children follow the nationality of the father.

What's not to understand? I despise Mitt as much as many here on freepers, but to distort law to invent a fictitious controversy is to spit on the constitution and the faith of our founding fathers. PERIOD.

They may "find" that, but that would be wrong. It means born as a natural citizen with no other allegiance.
