* TheCameo: [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] makes a quick cameo in episode 12 when he accidently drives into the Buckwald's driveway.

* CorruptChurch: The Buckwald's local church, a Protestant megachurch run by televangelist Reverend Fantastic, who doesn't know a word from the Bible (and thinks "God" is referred to as "Gid"), exploits his churchgoers to fund his luxurious lifestyle and engages in all manner of depraved sex acts. Surprisingly, he's NOT a SinisterMinister, but an unusually happy-go-lucky guy who does morally-depraved things.

* {{Determinator}}: J.C, in a complete reversal of his normally work shy character, completes the landscaping of an entire golf course by himself in one day. Unfortunatly, since he has basically no experience, the work comes out terrible, but he manages to get Ernestos landscaping firm another chance by pointing out that the golf course is home to an endangered bird species and threatens to reveal this unless the owner agrees to his demands.

** Bud assumes Ernesto knows Pope Francis because he's Mexican. Ernesto points out that the Pope is ''argentinian''... but yes, he does know him, and calls him up on his cellphone.

* ImGoingToDisneyWorld: At the end of "Borderwall", Ernesto exclaims "The Gonzales are going to Hawai!" only to be interupted by a network executive.

* MurderTheHypotenuse: Afer Buck befriends an ostrich, Gert eventually ends up killing it because it was taking her role as her dad's favorite.
* NiceGuy: Ernesto is really nice to everyone and he rarely shows any anger, even at Bud who's racist to Mexican. But he does show some frustration with his nephew J.C who refuses to work and constantly pesters everyone with his grating social justice morals.
* NonMammalianHair: Bud Buckwald the T. rex in one dimension keeps the signature head hair and [[AnimalFacialHair moustache]] that the human Bud Buckwald is known for.

* PerpetualPoverty: The Buckwalds come into money in 3 episodes (when Bud found a plane full of drug money in the desert, when he worked for Pablo Barracuda and when he ran a smuggling tunnel), but they always lost the money just as fast.
** Sanford briefly became a successfull Hollywood scriptwriter who specialized in bad sequels, but lost all his money when the jewish writers who normally got those jobs tried to attack him and he beat them all up. In response, they sued him for every dime.

* SeriousBusiness: The town of Mexifornia takes their high school football so seriously that they will beat up or try to kill the coach if they lose a game. When Bud accidently becomes the new coach, he knows this is a death sentence as he has no idea how to coach a football team.

* TheSlacker: Sanford is 24-years-old and he stays with his parents and pretty does nothing all day.

--> '''Bud''': *annoyed* Dont say the name of the show!

* TheCameo: [[FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] makes a quick cameo in episode 12 when he accidently drives into the Buckwald's driveway.

--> '''Ernesto''': Not until season 3? Okay, what can we do? Okay, The Gonzales are solving a murder mystery with the help of ''{{Bones}}''!

* {{Determinator}}: J.C, in a complete reversal of his normally work shy character, completes the landscaping of an entire golf course by himself in one day. Unfortunatly, since he has basically no experience, the work comes out terribly, but he manages to get Ernestos landscaping firm another chance by pointing out that the golf course is home to an endangered bird species and threatens to reveal this unless the owner agrees to his demands.

* NiceGuy: Ernesto is really nice to everyone and he rarely shows any anger, even at Bud who's racist to Mexican. But he does show some frustration with his nephew J.C.

* OutOfOrder: Several episodes are aired in the wrong order according to their production code. In "Borderwall", Bud was already familiar was Pablo Barracuda and that he is evil drug lord, but in "Drug Lord", Bud has never heard of him and is introduced to him.

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: J.C is this trope all over. At one point, he quotes a RobertFrost poem, but after no one interrupts him after the first line, he's forced to admit he doesnt know the rest.

The show is about two families living in a Southwest desert town on the United States–Mexico border called Mexifornia. The show revolves around Bud Buckwald, a border patrol agent, and Ernesto Gonzalez, Bud's Mexican neighbor who runs a successful landscaping business.

Debuting on January 3, 2016, it constantly struggled in the ratings. FOX officially said "adios" to Bordertown on May 12, but the remaining two episodes will still air.
