Can anyone write a short paragraph explaining how things are similar and/or different between the U.S. states that border Mexico?

Answer 1

I'm sure you can, after a little research.

Answer 2

California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas are the states that border Mexico. There are many immigrants living in these states that came from Mexico. These areas were part of the Vice royalty of New Spain. The difference is that Texas was not influenced by the Spanish American culture compared to the others.
