#1 Sounds like a haven for foreign investment and entrepreneurship.

#2 A former coworker of mine was Mexican by birth and here legally, with green card and all. She wanted to become a US citizen but dared not because she would lose all rights to her family's land in Durango.

#3 You know, I don't like Clancy as much as I used to, but in Debt of Honor, they had a nifty law that would mirror the laws of another country. That would be amusing to do to Mexico. Tell them we'll make our laws just like theirs. Then if they complain, we'll just say we're following their lead.

#4 I'm not too sure about that story your former coworker told you, Sea. I think most of Durango is over 100 miles from the ocean, so even if the Mexican government recognized her as an American now, she could legally own the land. (They never used to recognize when one of their citizens took another country's citizenship, unless they've recently changed their laws.)

#5 IIRC the Mexican government recently changed their laws to allow 'former' citizens [those naturalized in the US] to continue to vote in Mexican elections.
