That would be Pancho Villa’s raid on Columbus, NM. Probably the dumbest thing any Mexican has done regarding Mexico/U.S. relations. The incident set in stone American attitudes towards Mexicans as a bunch of bloodthirsty bandidos and poisoned relations from then on.

Apparently not our government though.

My grandfather lost his right arm in action against these invaders nearly 100 years ago. But I guess his sacrifice was all for naught in the end.
