I don't think so. Note the fourth verse of the Mexican National Anthem and remember 20 years from now that we knew what could happen:

SPANISH:

Guerra, guerra sin tregua al que intente; De la patria manchar los blasones!

Guerra, guerra! Los patrios pendones; En las olas de sangre empapad.

Guerra, guerra! En el monte, en el valle; Los cañones horrísonos truenen

ENGLISH

War, war without truce to any who dare; to tarnish the country's coat-of-arms!

War, war! Take the national pennants; and soak them in waves of blood.

War, war! In the mountain, in the valley; the cannons thunder in horrid unison

Here is a direct quote from an article, Mexican President Assails U.S. Measures on Migrants, in the NY Times:

“I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico,”

He's right.

Made a last-minute run to the grocery store today for a can of green beans.

Couldn't find any, but I did find cases of Kroger-brand "cortadas habichuelas verdes", which appear to be green beans if you believe the picture on the label.

In his speech, Calderon, who has acknowledged that he has relatives who went to the United States, suggested that U.S. deportation of undocumented immigrants bordered on a violation of human rights, and he vowed to help illegal migrants.

"I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico," he said. "And, for this reason, the government action on behalf of our countrymen is guided by principles for the defense and protection of their rights, by prevention to detect measures that could affect our people."

Last week, Calderon, a conservative, met with Elvira Arellano, 32, who became famous among advocates for Mexican immigrants for defying deportation orders and claiming sanctuary in a Chicago church for a year. In a meeting in his residence, he promised to help Arellano obtain a visa for the United States.

Mexico has long wanted to take back lands lost to Texas and to the USA as a result of the Mexican-American war. Mexicans consider these lands (South West USA) their lands. Calderon statements are, from the Mexican point of view, quite reasonable and represent their national policy/goal of reclaiming the American South West. Mexico is engaged in a effort to peacefully over run and reclain S.W. USA.
