Background
Many faced this issue due to the delayed recognition of dual citizenship by Mexico (1998) and the US (1967). The late adoption of the new nationality laws for Mexico caused a big problem to Mexico American families. Most Mexican families that fall into this scenario lived in the US at the time, they had kids born in US, but they were unable to obtain Mexican citizenship for them.
This meant that any time they wanted to come to Mexico to visit they had to pay the Mexican Foreign fees. Also, their kids were unable to access the public services granted by Mexico, like the school system.
Mexican families were almost obliged to attend the Registro Civil in their local communities and register their sons as born in Mexico, this granted them a Mexican birth certificate which the kids used to identify at school and social security offices. Families from every social class did this.
