Traditionally, a blockade refers to water (and maybe air) because water has been traditionally the way to move large amounts of goods for long distances. What you described would be a blockade of the ports of Mexico, cutting off a major mode of traffic. However, it can be argued that it's not a complete blockade of Mexico, because the border with Guatemala is still open. By definition though, a blockade is not restricted to just air or water - it can be on land as well. The Israeli Navy is blockading Gaza's ports, and the air force is blockading Gaza's airspace, but consider that Israel's ultimate goal is to completely blockade Gaza. That means including the efforts on land, including the near complete closing of the border crossings on the Israeli side, and with Egypt's help, the closing of the border with Egypt. |
