It's not that cut and dry though. The article glosses over the fact that Leal came to the U.S. when he was 1 1/2 years old. He also lied to police at the time about his citizenship. He claimed he was an American during the entire legal process. It was 2 to 3 years after his conviction when he came forward and admitted to being a MX National ONLY after hearing from another inmate that the MX consulate had helped defend him in his case.
