In 1967, the residents of US-Mexico border town Rio Rico discovered they weren’t Mexican citizens but were actually American.
For years it was assumed Rio Rico was part of Mexico, because it lay south of the river that forms the US-Mexico border.
During the Prohibition era, the town became known as a place US citizens could go to freely drink and gamble.
However, prior to 1906, Rio Rico actually lay to the north of the river and was therefore American territory.

That's propostrous, how's that even possible, it's an illegal attempt to capture land

this whole territory was stolen from mexico during one of many american imperialistic wars, half of united states is basically mexican territory
My family has been in a ranch next to Rio Rico for at least 200 years….Rio Rico is not a town …more like a community
Never knew about this. Our families here on the Texas border have old tales of family south of the border, they would go back and forth all the time. To go to the markets or to get freshly made tortillas. Also what separates us Tejanos from other Mexicans (though we're closely tied to Coahuila and Nuevo Leon) is that our indigenous DNA is tied to the territory, our Coahuiltecan ancestors (or Tamaulipecan on this stretch of the Rio Grande), lived on both sides of the border and migrated back and forth depending on the season. Over time, they mixed with the Spanish, Mexica/Tlaxcalan mestizo settlers, and other NA tribes in the 1700s. The only difference is being born on the "right side". People talk about Mexicans coming here, but plenty of Americans go South of the border for tourism and economic opportunities as well. Now many are deciding to stay there despite the inherent dangers.
This gringos fuckin up everywhere

All mexicans are North americans.
I never new this town existed and I'm from south texas
Great story, they've taken the TEX-MEX to a new level, it seems unbelievable that the Americans, actually cut the
the "bow" in the river gifting the bow-river land to Mexico, where they could have cut-it further up-river and then
kept the bow-river lands for themselves, which are always very fertile, being sandy, alluvial, river front. I guess
they didn't want to "rebuild" the pumping station further up-river.
(check-out Cold Chisels' "Bow River", written and sung by lead guitarist Ian Moss, a legendary song,
from a legendary band, teaching bad habits, to an innocent & uninitiated Australian Public)
THE RIO GRANDE, IS THE RIO RICO
THE PUMPING STATION, IS THE RIO CHICO
RIO RICO AMERICANO, RIO RICO MEXICANO
RIO GRANDE MEXICANO, RIO GRANDE AMERICANO
RIO RICO WAS GRANDE, RIO RICO NOW CHICO
THE PUMPING STATION, WAS PUMPING WATER
THE PUMPING STATION, WAS PUMPING TAXATION
THE PUMPING STATION, WAS PUMPING INFLATION
THE PUMPING STATION, THE PUMPING MONEY
THE RIO RICO STAGNATION, NO MONEY, NO FUNNY
NO WATER, NO CREATION, NO WATER, NO SUNNY
RIO GRANDE, RIO RICO, RIO GRANDE, RIO CHICO
THE RIVER HAS WATER, THE GROUND HAS WATER
RIO GRANDE LIQUIFIER, THE UNDERGROUND AQUIFIER
THE WATER ON THE SURFACE, THE WATER MOISTURIZER
THE WATER IS THE MONEY, THE WATER FERTILIZER
THE TEX-MEX IS MEXICAN, THE TEX-MEX IS AMERICAN
THE WATER IS AMERICAN, THE WATER IS A MEXICAN
IN NON-WESTERN CULTURES, THE WATER IS A WEAPON
IN THE MURRAY-DARLING BASIN, THE 111-PONZI IS A LEMON
NOTE: ARRIBA AMERICAN & LATIN AMERICAN UNITY
Half usa was mexico , gringos stole it
forgotten it's history … just like El Paso
I was born in Rio Rico…..
I remember reading about this story in my English 100 class at San Diego State University back in the mid 1990’s. Kudos to the people who first discovered that discrepancy on the definition of the U.S.-Mexico border along the Rio Grande River between Texas and Tamaulipas.
That man is invited to all the fiestas even though he’s been going since he was a kid.
Can we deport those who want to deny asylum seekers? They stand for everything anti-American.
I love little tidbits of history like this. Thank you.
It's like in Minnesota with the Northwest Angle

Those people may have been born in the US, but they were never real Americans.
What an amazing story.

My dad was born in Rio Rico, and became an American citizen and is the reason I am here in Texas now and not in mexico.
It was once all Mexico but what a very interesting story.
Such a cool story 🇲🇽🇺🇸
We all brothers after all
The video editor went way overboard with the effects (camera snapping, spooky music, etc.).
Not to mention the camera effect they used had auto-focus, not even historically accurate for the time covered.
What the sam hill!!!
The people 👫 who became the Mexicans. A Mexico City autosomal ancestry study found that the European ancestry of Mexicans was 52 percent; the remainder was primarily Amerindian, with a small African contribution. Maternal ancestry was also analyzed, with 47 percent of European origin.

Fascinating story 🙂
Loved the farmers attitude to the border. There was a plan once for Peace Parks on some contentious European borders. A strip of land along the border full of collaboration not confrontation. A peace Park.
BBC is putting toooo much effort into this, it’s not that complicated 😂
Just another example of corporate greed and corruption going unpunished.
Would have figured someone would figure it out at tax time. Good story!
Interesting…I learned something today.
