Give Mexico their border shape back.

Depending on your definition of border, borders between two countries don't always match.
Basically every single dot in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territorial_disputes#/media/File:Map_of_Territorial_Disputes.svg will cause the legal borders of bordering states to diverge.

And a story less amiable and fun... Since the state of Kentucky was established before its neighbors, its border was defined as the northern shore of the Ohio River. Indiana and Ohio were established with reference to the Kentucky border. Basically, they start where Kentucky ends. When the river moves and islands form, legal disputes begin. Kentucky usually wins.
