its just the split of real world California state. US in Cyberpunk universe is a balcanized country, with several Free States and California in particular more balcanized: North California,South California and Night City is a free city state.
if you mean economically, I don´t know... US (NUSA in game) is the worlds 24th economy in 2077
South Cal signed the unification treaty, so its back to NUSA:

Might be that you are referring to some ingame shard or tv with New Mexico(a US state) and Texas with NUSA? Its skirmishes that could lead to another war within US(i guess that depends on which ending is cannon).

Free State
The Free States are a number of North American states with various degree of autonomy with respect to the New United States of America. Texas was the first free state, although at the time the term had not yet been coined. The Mideast Meltdown of 1997 and the Drought of 1998 put Texans atop a...

For your edit, i don't recall any ingame info in cp2077. In the original timeline cp2020/cpred, US barely could hold its own territory and was kicked out of a couple of wars in central and south america.

The shard I discovered mentioned a wall separating the two Californias. There is only one location the erection of a 20ft wall has been relevant in recent US History. As I recall, older maps of California have included the peninsula to the South, as well as as other claimed territories south of the current boarder. Atzlan included varying portions of land at the Mexican boarders, despite the image results I am currently receiving in 2021. European occupation of the Americas would reinforce the idea maps of varying territorial claims should exist.
But in Cyberpunk lore, which manufacturing company would take advantage of Central American production facilities?

Its a wall kind of DMZ wall build by NUSA because they don´t like independent Night City:

In lore it was Biotechnica who benefitted of bioengineering jungles and crops (licensed to Petrochem), also before 4th Corpo War Arasaka hold Brazil as stronghold. Its not that they use existing real life manufacturing capabilities, is that Corps buy for all practical purposes entire countries with puppet governments and do whatever they please with little to no regulation.
I'm not aware that this source book (Home of the Brave) has been updated post CPRED, so its CP2020 timeline before 4th Corpo War:
But Mexico city was rebuilded by Aldecaldos if I recall correctly (with some Corpo sponsored contract).
Future franchise spinnoff material right here. I am interested in Cyberpunk's take on the Panama Canal.
This is from the same source book:
So its pre 2023, complete pull-off from Panama. But not clear about the Panama canal itself :
https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Second_Central_American_War
By CPRED (2045), source material kind of say that US doesn´t hold any territory outside its borders after 4th Corpo War (there was massive fighting in some south american countries).
There is a source book (CP2020) "Tales from the Forlorn Hope" that I have only physical copy, that kind of go over the south american conflicts and I recall (if my memory doesn´t fail) that in 2020 Panama Canal was being under US military control under constant guerrila attacks, in CPRED and CP2077 I cannot say.

yea... included with the bonus content.
I was not aware of the amount of literature available on this fictitious history. I can only imagine what the fanfics get into.

its a 30 years old franchise and has 10's of source books, with CPRED I can imagine some of the source books will be rewritten. For fanfics, I recall i had a small "World of Darkness Cyberpunk" so you can mix Vampire The Masquerade and Cyberpunk in one game... quite funny. There were also a couple of parallel universes: Cybergenerations that spin-off as a separate game, where a "plague" granted powers; Hardwired that uses another separate cyberpunk setting and When Gravity Fails that uses an Arabic themed cyberpunk setting.

You can find also conversions to Shirow works (Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell):

I do have a Bubblegum crisis RPG ruleset that was done by Rtalsorian as a licensed product. Plenty of material if you are interested to twist/adapt the universe.

yes with this much source material available it is a surprise the video game industry has not accomplished so much more.
