Name one state that borders Mexico.

  1. A Florida
  2. B Oregon
  3. C California — along with Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, California shares a border with Mexico along the southern United States
  4. D Nevada

Why this is the answer

Four US states share a land border with Mexico: CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO, and TEXAS. The US-Mexico border is approximately 1,954 miles long. Mexico borders the United States to the south. USCIS Question 91 (65/20 list): 'Name one state that borders Mexico.' — Any of the four is a correct answer: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas. CONTRAST with states bordering Canada (northern states: Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Alaska, and others) — USCIS also asks about the Canadian border.
