Can the Americans in Mexico and the Mexicans in the United States of America get Dual Citizenship?
Answer:
Indeed! You can have Mexican and American citizenship:
The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a citizen of
two countries at the same time. Each country has its own citizenship
laws based on its own policy.Persons may have dual nationality by
automatic operation of different laws rather than by choice. For
example, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. citizen parents may
be both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth.
A U.S. citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a
person naturalized as a U.S. citizen may not lose the citizenship of
the country of birth.U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or
require a person to choose one citizenship or another. Also, a person
who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing
U.S. citizenship. However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship
by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship. In order to lose U.S.
citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the
foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the
intention to give up U.S. citizenship.
Intent can be shown by the person's statements or conduct.The U.S.
Government recognizes that dual nationality exists but does not
encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may
cause. Claims of other countries on dual national U.S. citizens may
conflict with U.S. law, and dual nationality may limit U.S. Government
efforts to assist citizens abroad. The country where a dual national
is located generally has a stronger claim to that person's allegiance.
However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and
the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both
countries. Either country has the right to enforce its laws,
particularly if the person later travels there.Most U.S. citizens,
including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave
the United States. Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign
country to use its passport to enter and leave that country. Use of
the foreign passport does not endanger U.S. citizenship. Most
countries permit a person to renounce or otherwise lose citizenship.
"DUAL NATIONALITY
Dual nationality can occur as the result of a variety of
circumstances. The automatic acquisition or retention of a foreign
nationality, acquired, for example, by birth in a foreign country or
through an alien parent, does not affect U.S. citizenship. It is
prudent, however, to check with authorities of the other country to
see if dual nationality is permissible under local law. Dual
nationality can also occur when a person is naturalized in a foreign
state without intending to relinquish U.S. nationality and is
thereafter found not to have lost U.S. citizenship the individual
consequently may possess dual nationality. While recognizing the
existence of dual nationality and permitting Americans to have other
nationalities, the U.S. Government does not endorse dual nationality
as a matter of policy because of the problems which it may cause.
Claims of other countries upon dual-national U.S. citizens often place
them in situations where their obligation to one country are in
conflict with the laws of the other. In addition, their dual
nationality may hamper efforts to provide U.S. diplomatic and consular
protection to them when they are abroad."

Yes, its possible to have dual citizenship. You must go to an embassy of either country. I would not recommend you to have dual citizenship since you would have to pay double taxes.
I don't believe that the United States allows its citizens to hold dual citizenship. I could be wrong.
