    I went to CANADA once.i told him I was from NEW MEXICO. They ask me for my passport. I told him I didn't need one .he Told yes you do. your from MEXICO. No I'm from New mexico. Its part the United States. He said what's the difference. You send me back to a country I was not born in .good thing there was a smart person working in Canada's customs.that day.

    I moved from Atlanta to Albuquerque in 2020. Right before I left Atlanta I went in to the Post Office to put in a change of address and was promptly told that the Post Office can not forward mail to a foreign country. I advised her that New Mexico has been a state since 1912 and she refused to accept that. Her supervisor straightened her out about New Mexico being in the USA.

    I had similar experience when I Previously lived in Hawaii and Texas. I used to work at a library in Hawaii. Someone called from Seattle who really seemed convinced that Hawaii was a foreign country. She kept bragging about how cool her new phone was since it could make an "international call from Seattle to Hawaii." She just wouldn't listen when I explained that she had not in fact made an international call since Hawaii was a state.
    A few years before that I lived in Texas and a patron in the library where I worked there asked me if he could use American dollars in Texas as if Texas was not part of the U.S. I told him that he could use American dollars everywhere nearby except Mexico. That got the point across!
    A related issue is that I grew up in Washington State and I've frequently met people who think that Washington State is Washington, DC and will not believe otherwise, I've even pointed them out on a map to demonstrate that Washington State and Washington, DC are literally thousands of miles apart and on complete opposite sides of the country and had many people still insist that they are one and the same.
    Some people are just geographically challenged.

      Why can't they think of a better name? they could have named it Lincoln after the president Abraham Lincoln. just like how Washington is named after George Washington

      While, many believe that the state derived its name of its parent country, Mexico. However, the region was dubbed New Mexico by explorers because they believed that area contained wealthy Indian cultures similar to those of the Mexica (Aztec) Empire. In fact, New Mexico, or Nuevo México in Spanish was given its name in the year 1563, and again in 1581, much before Mexico, who adopted its name in 1821.

    I mean....when you go back to when the Guadalupe treaty was signed ...1848... less than half of the new mexico lands from The rio grande to Pecos river ect ect. . . Were abundantly full of water. So, the united States only primarily owns new mexico. This is due to the fact that they couldn't choose pieces of the river as their territory. Over time the waters have all gone below the surface of the valley allowing for people to live on these empty water beds. Meaning southeast New mexico is still apart of Mexico, this part of the land was not resolved, but just buried to be forgot. . . Unity is all we can do on the ground level, but the power behind this unity will never be forgotten.

    In my work cubicle I had a little stuffed green alien doll that I bought while in Roswell. My coworker asked me about it and I told her I got it in New Mexico. She then tells me, "omg, that's so mean and really messed up of you". I was confused for a moment and then I realized she thought it was like an alien doll from Mexico and that I was making fun of undocumented Mexicans. I explained to her New Mexico was a state and that Roswell is known for a supposed alien crash site. She had never heard of Roswell or NM until I told her. 🤦🏻‍♀️
