Yes, you can. I personally know a few who have done that. Don't know the process, but it can't be much. Those who I know wouldn't have done it had
it been bothersome.
Somebody here will fill you in.

Wait....lemme back up for a second. Is your father from Mexico? I think that's the key to this.

Yankee Doodle, my friend. I think you're stuck with being 100% American.

1. Born in California.
2. California = Mexico
3. Ergo, dad is Mexican.
Something wrong with this syllogism? (Ans.: probably. This is after all Mexico).

I guess if your father was born in California before 1850, you're in. Good luck with that.

I don't think he can do that since his father was born in California long after it was part of Mexico which makes him a direct descendant of a US
citizen without ties to Mexico:
"Naturalization Certificate (for direct descendents of Mexican citizens)
This document is issued to foreign citizens who can demonstrate that they are direct descendents of a Mexican by birth"

What is Great Grandfather's birthdate??
1821 - Mexico wins independence from Spain. California is part of Mexico.
1848 - California became a U.S. holding with the Treaty of Guadalupe, which ended the Mexican War.
1850 - California admitted to the Union as a State
Great Grandfather must have been born in California between 1821 and 1848 to claim Mexican citizenship.........
I think............

I don't think one can go back four generations to claim citizenship ties to Mexico. I believe it has to be the parent[s] of the person applying.

It has to be your Father or Mother who was born in Mexico. My wife got her citizenship through her mother who was born in Mex. It was a very straight
forward process. If I remember correctly she just needed her mother's Mexican passport or birth certificate, $120 and a trip up to Santa Ana to take a
picture. The only right my wife does NOT have is the right to vote in Mexico. The nice thing is she can own property outright, no fideicomiso.

Hola Gaucho, If your wife would like to vote, all she has to do is get her IFE card. Go to the office "Instituto Federal Electoral" present citizen
papers, give an address then return in a couple weeks and pick up the credencial para votar. | Quote: | Originally posted by Gaucho

Why would you want Mexican citizenship? The Mexicans all want to move north.
