Birthers find out that Romney is a secret Mexican

The real legal question is this: Romney's father was born in Mexico. Under their Constitution, he was a Mexican citizen.

Mexican Constitution - Chapter II
Article 30. Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by naturalization:

A. Mexicans by birth are:

II. Those born in a foreign country of Mexican parents; of a Mexican father and a foreign mother; or of a Mexican mother and an unknown father;

Was that still his status when Mitt was born?

At least that group of them which accepts that Obama was born in the US but that having a foreign born parent deprives one of natural born citizen status.
