Mexicans Register With Their Consul
Thousands of Mexicans apply at the Mexican Consul General T. R. Beltran for Mexican citizenship certificates to show noncitizen status and exemption from U S military service. About 150 000 bona fide Mexican citizens in his jurisdiction may apply. Beltran refuses certificates to former Mexicans who voted or sought American citizenship. The mass registration is driven by draft concerns and occurs at all U S Mexican consulates, with this division the busiest.
