If Leslie was born in California, why is she Mexican by birth? According to the Political Constitution of Mexico (or the United Mexican States), persons born specifically in the territory of Mexico are considered Mexican or Mexican by birth, Or who have a parent of Mexican nationality.

A precedent for the men’s team?
