      I think there’s one situation where the border was defined by the river but then the river moved, and some Americans ended up on the Mexican side of the river. I’m not sure if this is an active border dispute or not.

      I think there are some semi active disputes going about the possibility that some American water management activities in the watershed may cause the river to shift more. For reference, the headwaters of the Rio Grande are deeper into US territory, not on the border

    Oddly enough, this is not true between Belize and Guatemala.

    Because border conflicts between nation-states are pretty pretty pretty common.

    This more looks like how I remember it from my timeline, with a big river between the US and Mexico.

      I hope this is Poe’s Law at play. I literally don’t know what that even means if it’s meant seriously

        As a Mexican I also have no idea what that guy is talking about. My best guess is that he thinks it’s racist because it just mentions Mexico at all?
