Yes By blood, but she is not a Mexican citizen. Linda is an natural-born American citizen with a blood line that is in part directly from Mexico on her fathers side of the family. Linda is of European and Mexican descent. 87½% European, and 12½% Mexican.

Linda's Father was 25% Mexican descent, Linda's Mother is completely of European descent, German, English, and Dutch. Which makes Linda 1/8 or 12½% Mexican.

Linda is 87½ % European and 12½ % Mexican.

The questions answer can only be speculation on with out Linda's answering it herself. This question is often raised, as Linda has chosen to identify herself as a Mexican/American.

Linda's father was 75% European descent and 25% Mexican descent. Linda's mother is completely of European descent, German, English, and Dutch, which makes Linda about 1/8 or 12.5% Mexican.
