And the day the first US tank rolls across the border is the day Mexico becomes China, Rissia, and/ or Irann's most strategic ally.
Much of Mexico's industry is in it's northern regions as well...they likely would not roll over lightly.
And Pershing's invasion of Mexico in pursuit of Pancho Villa was not successful.

So we have to quake in fear that a weak nation, that doesn't enforce its borders,might not like us?
If they can't enforce the integrity of their country against a "passing through" caravan why should they do more vis a vis the U.S.?
