Hi, Jack!

I think that key word here is "common" - for me "typically mean America
and not Mexico" is a clear example of common use.

English is a foreign language for me, but I have also never heard about
"United States" in the meaning Mexico ("United Mexican States"), which
makes this case stronger for me.
