I worked for a few years at an Albuquerque TV station. The state has it's own magazine, imaginitively titled "New Mexico Magazine." In the back they always have a section where people write in with experiences like that.
When I'd vacation elsewhere and tell people I was from New Mexico I'd often get asked if I had my green card yet, if it was hard getting through border patrol, etc. It's amazing how few people know that it's a state
