I have done a fair amount of research on the subject...and I think that Lencho is correct. The difference comes if you become a naturalized citizen.

I think you need a lawyers advice before you would move forward but....
Naturalization does not allow you all the benifits of a naturan born citizen. Just more than a FM3
You still cannot buy in the restricted zone without a trust or corporation. This would put your investment at risk.

Not true. A naturalized citizen has, with very few exceptions, ALL the rights that any native born has, including unrestricted property rights.
Can't serve in the military, be a port captain, hold certain elective office, there may be more but these are the ones I'm familiar with.

Dave-
That's the same information that I have come up with. Fortunately I don't want to be a port captain any time in this life!

Why not?
Base pay isn't much but fringe benefits are outstanding.

If I'm still around in two years I will be eligible. Whether I do or not depends on definitive answers to questions about my U.S. citizen status. I've
heard you have to renounce but not in front of a consular official. Also heard that if caught with a U.S. passport you can be in big trouble.
I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize my U.S. citizenship but If I can I would love to play on a level field, business wise. Having to operate as a
corporation is a severe disadvantage for a small business owner.

Dave and others interested in naturalization...
I have researched the effect of Mexican citizenship on existing US citizenship. You will not imperil your US citizenship unless you intend to give it
up or engage in certain acts that indicate an intention to give it up.
The State Department says the following:
"The loss of U.S. citizenship can only occur if a person's actions demonstrate an intent to give up his or her citizenship. Such actions might
include:
? Serving in the armed forces of a country which is engaged in hostilities against the United States.
? Formally renouncing one's U.S. citizenship in front of a duly authorized U.S. official.
? Committing an act of treason against the United States, or attempting or conspiring to overthrow the U.S. government. "
Note the emphasis on the words "intent to give up..." In fact, courts (and the State Department) have interpreted that to mean that there is a
presumption that you do not intend to give up your US citizenship.
You can use your US passport entering and leaving the US and your Mexican passport for Mexico.
I have been thinking of asking on this board about whether or not anyone has become a naturalized citizen, thought about it, or plans to or not to,
and why or why not. Since it seems that others are interested as well...I think I will.
