Mexico has a distinct geographical location, it is North America, not Central. Beat this dead horse all you want but you are still dead wrong in saying that “Mexico is part of central America”.

U.S, Canada, Mexico. North America.

Like I said, all of Central America is part of North America because it resides on the NA tectonic plate. Culturally and demographically, Mexico has far more in common with countries such as Honduras and Guatemala than the US.

When we are discussing the issue of illegal immigration, cultural and demographic concerns are more pertinent, hence it is easier to lump Mexico in with the countries of Central America sub-region proper rather than keep saying "Mexico and South America."
