How long does it take to bring a new born baby to the US?

Heres my situation.

Im a U.S Citizen, been living in the US for 10 years. My fiance and i are going to get married next week, shes here on a Tourist visa. Shes also pregnant. Since we live in the US - Mex border in San Diego and she has Mexican insurance, we were thinking about having the baby in Mexico then apply for a passport for him. However i got a couple questions.

1) Everytime i read it says about Child from US citizen and RESIDENT Alien, she has no green card yet, because shes here on a tourist visa.

2) Most importantly, how long does this whole process take? i know i have to do it thru the US consulate in Tijuana but ill like to get my baby home as soon as possible.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
If I am not wrong the child even if born outside the US would be a US citizen since one of the parents is a US citizen. You would have to apply for a Birth Certificate/Passport at the nearest US consulate in Mexico and should be able to get your baby back to the US quickly.

Your record of birth abroad, if registered with a U.S. consulate or embassy, is proof of your citizenship.

fromt he above website.

what it means if registered?

Also anyone knows how long will it take for the consulate to issue the passport?
