A: Bringing the child may be easy, you would do a consular report of birth abroad at the US consulate in Mexico and assuming you lived the required years in the US, the child would get US citizenship and then you could take them with you (assuming mother consents). As far as the mother goes, you would need to consult a US immigration attorney as far as options.
