Mexico is a third world country but nowadays we use the euphemism "newly industrialized countries". The term second world refered to the old communist countries that didn't fit in the western concepts first world (developed countries) or third world (undeveloped countries). The thing here is that a third world country can have an industrialized development like Mexico or Brazil or can be completely underdeveloped like Tanzania, that's why is not the proper word anymore.
