Fucked up thing is all Mexico (or whatever country) has to do is say "no" to accepting them and America gets fucked under international law (not allowing countries to render people stateless)
They dont get to say no, under the same provision you spoke about. They're not US citizens, nor even, legally, permanent US residents even. They're not supposed to be in the US, their deportation's were deferred, but they're still citizens of other nations.
It’s not. Most countries other than the US operate by the principle of jus sanguinis, aka nationality by blood.
That means for example that even though I was born in the US and am a US citizen, due to my Polish heritage, Poland sees me as a national. That is regardless of the fact that I’ve never tried to get any official documentation from there proving it.
There was actually a serious risk prior to 2008 when Poland still had compulsory military service, that an American of Polish descent could be drafted. The consulate also would not let you leave without getting official documents if they found out you were Polish lol.
So just by virtue of the fact that these kids have Mexican parents, they are Mexican nationals and can be deported just fine. Mexico would complain, but they would take them.

Here's a solution: dump them in puerto rico

Perhaps you're right, idk, you make a good point but it still seems like some sketchy gray zone

Not to sound pedantic, but how would that work if say you were Heinz57 15% polish 15% swedish 15% moldovan etc?
I assume a Honduran would have similar genes to Mexicans, so I figure the European example is easier
