James Fulford recently wrote an article about Politifact's claim that Ann Coulter was not telling the truth when she said one-quarter of Mexico's population was in the US.

He stated (about Americans of Mexican descent): "...the Government of Mexico thinks they’re Mexican. Many of the Mexicans born in the US are born to Mexican parents who are citizens of Mexico, and they can go to Mexico and claim citizenship there if they want."

Can you tell me your source that says the government of Mexico considers Mexican-Americans actual Mexicans? Or the source that says they can go to Mexico and claim citizenship?

I suggested that re Mexican-Americans claiming Mexican citizenship, this article from Migration News might be on point:

Until March 1998, Mexicans who became naturalized US citizens lost their Mexican nationality. This is no longer the case: Mexican-born people as well as their children born abroad can maintain their Mexican ties if they wish. Mexico: Dual Nationality, Politics, March 2000, Volume 7, Number 3

For the extent to which the Mexican government thinks of Mexican-Americans as Mexicans, see these two articles by VDARE.com's Allan Wall
