Mexican origin
From that country
Mexican origin describes ancestry or heritage tracing to Mexico.
The phrase appears most often in demographic contexts, census categories, and legal documents: persons of Mexican origin, Americans of Mexican origin.
It encompasses both recent immigrants and families who have lived in the United States for generations, including those whose ancestors predated the current border.
