The boundary with Saudi Arabia, defined in the 1970s, has not been publicly announced so cartographers and officials draw the line at their best estimate. The border with Oman is not defined. Nonetheless, these boundaries lie within a fairly inhospitable desert so boundary demarcation is not an urgent issue at this time._______________The United States and Mexico disagree over the issue of illegal immigration into the United States and how the border should be monitored._______________In 1990, Iraq accused Kuwait of stealing Iraqi oil through slant drilling, however some Iraqi sources indicated Saddam Hussein's decision to attack Kuwait was made only a few months before the actual invasion._______________According to a 1998 negotiation held in Buenos Aires, a 50?km (31?mi) section of the boundary in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field is still pending of mapping and demarcation according to the limits already settled by the 1881 treaty. In 2006 president Néstor Kirchner invited Chile to define the border, but Michelle Bachelet's government left the invitation unanswered. The same year, the Chilean government sent a note to Argentina complaining about Argentine tourism maps that showed a normal boundary in the Southern Patagonian Icefield with most of the area belonging to Argentina. Definition:Median-line principle: an approach to dividing and creating boundaries at the mid-point between two places (similar to the maritime borders where they divide it equally if they are less than 200 miles apart. ................
