Why do mexican come here and give birth then get dual citizenship for the kids?

I saw this on the local news. The mex govt came to help process 250 kids born to illegals in the US who are now demanding dual citizenship of their American child? If they can go through this legal process why didn't they try to become legal in the US as well first?

I have friends and family who came as refugees or other immigrants who followed the rules and I myself immigrated to Canada. It can be costly and a pain but worth the legal process. So if the Mexicans know the rules why not follow them and instead they cause more hardship that they claim they are escaping from.

Update:

That is my point if life is so bad in Mexico why would they want to make thier American born kids Mexicans? No one pays income tax in Mexico but you can collect US govt benefits there minus welfare and SSI. The parents doing this make no sense to me. I know Mex is not the great so this action puzzled me, of making kids mexican citizens after going through so much trouble to have them born here.

    Mexico doesn't accept dual citizenship to start. What they are getting is Mexican nationality. Having Mexican nationality allows for a better flow of cash back to Mexico. If they become legal in the US they would have to pay taxes, pay for medical treatments, no welfare, no unemployment, no food stamps, no HUD housing, etc. Between the federal government and US big business it is getting to the point where it is better to be an illegal than a US citizen. And to add insult to injury the US citizens get to pay for it all!

    "The Enemy within." should be read. In History, see : The Byzantine Empire. Muslims, and Islam have been in Europe, before. At this time the Muslim entrance into the Western Counties is compared to Hitler wanting to conquer the World, that is the goal of Islam, and it has been expressed often. If you observe the happenings in the UK and France, Spain they should clearly indicate, that their means are not peaceful. In all western Nations the birth rate has been declining. and there is now a need for Foreign workers, that is why the Muslims and the Mexicans are coming in. Let us hope that America will continue to be the melting pot, that it has been for many generations of Immigrants.

    It is the same if you (or your wife) were to have a baby in Mexico or anywhere in Europe, for that fact. They are automatically citizens and qualify for dual citizenship - which is actually a good thing considering the fact that they may want to go back and live in the OTHER country, right? Dual citizenship gives them the opportunity to do just that as well as remain here.

    Illegal ones have no morals, that is why mexico encourages them to come here, and the ones who do come here while pregnant should be charged with child endangerment for their unborn babies. Who cares if they put their life in danger, but not a baby!!! Second if mother is illegal, child should be too!! If they want their mexican citizenship for their child, move back where you belong!!! They would rather tell their children, "I was a criminal when you were born"

    Report and Deport all!

    Mexicans have no choice in anything! the

    living conditions in their country are in no

    way to benefit them, and these illegal things

    they do is for survival, in essence they

    need to be granted amnesty to live anywhere other than mexico, there is no

    place for the poor to have the basic necess-

    ities to live, you might not know one day of

    poverty in your life, but they do, there's a

    difference, in culture and social standing so

    just read all about it and say God help them!

    and as a good citizen offer them help if you

    can, and let ICE do the rest.

    Maybe because "natural born citizen" is defined by the Constitution?
