Just call them USians. When I say 'americans' I often talk about north Americans, I use USians to disambiguate.

I have never heard American refer to anything but a United States resident, so I seriously doubt you. USian is disrespectful to the preferred demonym, if you do care about that.
Pedantically, the formal name of Mexico is Estados Unidos Mexicanos, or United States (of) Mexico. USians would then be ambiguous.
