uS is over 9m sq kms, Mexico is under 2.

Canada is larger than the US but if the US extended its northern border 50 miles Canada wouldn’t have any population left.

Oh you’re right about relative size of Mexico - my memory had a units error (km vs mi). Still, it’s not even as big as Canada so the statement wasn’t close to right…. It’s a bit under 9/20
