Best Answer

In 2011 Mexico decriminalized illegal Immigration, thus becoming an administrative infraction punishable with a fine that stays around US$500. Mexico also recognizes Dual Citizenship, so all you have to do is to define your status, pay the corresponding fine and begin the process to acquire legal residence through the FM2 (immigrant) process.

You should however, consult a legal advisor.
