FOUNDATION OF THE REFORM WHERE DUAL MEXICAN NATIONALITY IS GRANTED BY BLOOD RIGHT.

These "foreign-born Mexicans" or emigrants still long to keep their roots alive; and thanks to a reform made to article 30 of the Constitution of the United Mexican States, in September 2018, today those who are children, grandchildren or even great-grandchildren of Mexicans who were born abroad can obtain dual Mexican nationality.

Through the OPINION OF THE UNITED COMMISSIONS OF CONSTITUTIONAL POINTS AND SECOND LEGISLATIVE STUDIES, REGARDING THE INITIATIVE WITH DRAFT DECREE THAT REFORMS SECTION II OF SECTION A) OF ARTICLE 30 OF THE POLITICAL CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED MEXICAN STATES, REGARDING NATIONALITY , the Mexican government justified the reform in the following way:

"At the time, the Mexican State, taking into account the migratory flows of the time (end of the last century), wanted to recognize first-generation Mexicans born abroad due to the immediate link; however, this has already transcended us, since the sense of belonging and identity is still present and we recognize the cultural richness that implies opening the possibility that those who are descendants of Mexicans born abroad can recognize themselves as such if they so wish."

What changed with the reform of article 30 of the constitution?

BEFORE THE REFORM :

Article 30.- Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or naturalization.

A).- They are Mexican by birth:

II. Those who are born abroad, children of Mexican parents born in national territory, of a Mexican father born in national territory, or of a Mexican mother born in national territory;

AFTER THE REFORM:

Article 30. Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or naturalization.

A) They are Mexican by birth:

II. those who are born abroad, children of Mexican parents, a Mexican mother or a Mexican father.

IUS SOLI and IUS SANGUINIS

This reform changes the perspective that Mexico had for the acquisition of nationality, before it was mandatory to have been born in Mexican territory ius soli or right of the soil , now that the constitution was reformed, nationality is also acquired by blood inheritance ius sanguinis or right of the blood which means that national identity is something that is inherited from parents to children from generation to generation by blood or adoption.

As we see, it is a radical change of paradigm that few have understood, even in the Mexican consulates, lacking a correct interpretation, they deny dual nationality to Mexicans born abroad because they lack a Mexican certificate from their parents who were also born in the country. foreign. But if we are strict and correctly read the spirit of the legislator in this reform, we will understand that children of the second, third, fourth, fifth or even sixth generation could claim their right to dual Mexican nationality if the ancestors had birth certificates that demonstrate the legal ancestry.

In addition to the correct interpretation, this reform has the problem that it still does not have a regulation to the law consistent with it, that is, the procedures of the consulates and the Mexican civil registry have not been updated due to the lack of a modification to the laws. subsidiaries in the matter. Therefore, demonstrating the blood line of the ancestors through registered, legalized, apostilled and translated documentation, in addition to the legal procedures and resources necessary to enforce this reform, makes me recommend hiring a competent lawyer to obtain this right that the constitution conferred on the children of Mexicans born abroad.
