One by one, the parents filed inside, sat down before a Mexican government worker and told stories of lives that had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border twice. First, they crossed illegally into the United States for work, found jobs, and had children. Then, they were caught and deported, or left on their own as the work dried up with the U.S. economic slump. Now, they are back in Mexico with children who are American citizens by virtue of being born on U.S. soil.
More than 300,000 U.S.-born children have been brought to Mexico since 2005, out of a total of 1.4 million people who moved back from the U.S. during that period, according to the Washington-based Pew Hispanic Center.
The number of U.S.-citizen children living in Mexico with at least one Mexican parent reached 500,000 in 2011, according to one demographic study.

This is caused by Automatic Birthright Citizenship for children born here to Illegal Aliens. And caused by parent to enter this country illegally. So dont make this my problem. But I thought these children were Mexican citizens because their parents are Mexican citizens. Now is the time to close the border.
The Mexican Constitution, Chapter II, Article 30, paragraph II, states that you are a Mexican by birth if born on foreign territory, sons or daughters of Mexican parents born in national territory. Anchor Babies are not U.S. citizens! They are citizens of Mexican according to the Mexican Constitution.
