It says in the article he was born in Mexico but that "Perez's parents are both U.S. citizens. " That would make him a U.S. Citizen as well, even though he was born in another country (this is my situation). It doesn't explain in the article if he parents became U.S. Citizens after migrating to the U.S. or if they were always U.S. Citizens. I'm guessing the former, but why didn't they get him citizenship along with themselves?
