The problem is that your question is too general and has been discussed many times on the board.
Take Bruce's advice and do a search then ask whatever remains unanswered.

"Immigration issues?"
Well, let's see. I'm not an expert by any means, but I've read some things. There are a number of people who would like to emigrate and live the ocean
front lifestyle in Baja, but the Mexican government has a firm control of the issue. They don't want just anybody moving in and doing whatever they
wish. You have to prove that you have enough income from your native country. They don't want you working there and competing with Mexican nationals.
You can't break any criminal laws or you're deported real quick. You can't engage in any political activity. Generally, you have to play the straight
and narrow or you're out of there.

dual citizenship US/Mexican?
Does dual citizenship allow a person to own property in the restictive zones, make it legal for a person to harvest shellfish, or use nets and traps
for bait? Will you pay taxes on income earned outside of Mexico or just in the country the income originates in? Don't intend to break or bend any
laws, but need to know the rules to play by the rules.

the answer is yes to this you can do anything any other Mexican can if you become a Mexican citizen.

You may be confusing dual citizenship with dual nationality. The U.S. recognizes neither. Mexico recognizes the Mexican nationality of anyone born
in Mexico even if they have renounced Mexican citizenship and become a citizen of another country. This policy also applies to children born to one
or both Mexican parents while aboad. This is not the same as citizenship but confers ALMOST the same rights such as owning property with clear title
but NOT voting or holding public office. (I stand ready to be corrected on this if I'm wrong.)
BTW, some of the Mexican contributors to this board may have an opinion as to the relative value of voting in Mexico.

Guess maybe "confused" is the key word here? Thought nationality would be a "birth" thing. Isn't citizenship a matter of choice? I know we can sort
this out.

You're on the right track. If you were not born a Mexican citizen and remain one, then you must choose to become one. If you were born one and
renounced it to become a citizen of another country, Mexico still considers you a Mexican National. If you were born outside Mexico to Mexican
parents, Mexico considers you a Mexican National, but not a citizen. To relieve your confusion, you must first decide what exactly is it that you
want to do, then go talk to your nearest Mexican Consul.
