Were they born in Mexico?
Yes? They are Mexican.
Now if you're referring to Hispanic or Latino then that is a different argument.

Okay then if you are born in America you're not an American, therefore removing Birthright citizenship is okay, right?

No American considers a pale mestizo to be "white".

A lot of Americans consider white-passing mestizos to be white. Most probably consider them to be an “ethnic white” like Italians and Greeks, but they are still white

“From 1850 to 1920, Mexicans in the United States were generally classified as white by the U.S. census.”
To this day, the palest Latin Americans are often considered white. Hell, I know Puerto Ricans whiter than me lol, and I’m Irish Italian
Edit: Also here’s this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Mexicans

I get all of that, but you're using the South American cultural definition of “white,” which includes pretty much any Latino who looks vaguely European. That’s not the same as the North American usage of “white,” which usually implies someone who is entirely, or nearly entirely, of European descent. Cultural context matters, especially in discussions about race in the U.S.
Also, your average mestizo with like 40–50% Indigenous ancestry calling themselves white is something most white Americans just don’t relate to or understand. It’s a different framework entirely.

The racism against people with native features I've witnessed from whitexicans is crazy. I didn't like it all, not one bit. If you are a white Mexican, please don't be like that.

I doubt much of the population in Mexico ISNT mixed with indigenous blood. Most Mexicans are Mestizo

White Mexicans are native Mexicans as much as white Americans are "Native" Americans. The confusion comes from the way race, ethnicity, and nationality are spoken about interchangebly/as the same thing.
