When an ordinary Mexican mom has just given birth in a Laredo hospital, there isn’t normally any Mexican official there able to exercise Mexican governmental power over the infant.
I can’t say the same for a wife of an ambassador, since the ambassador can pat the child on its posterior. The ambassador can tell any US official who walks in the room that the child has diplomatic immunity.
