Am very well read upon History.......that is my passion after all.
Do not confuse the political realities of today versus those of 150 years ago. Things can, kind of, change in the intervening years. It’s been known to happen.
Send the CIA or FBI or ATF (uh-huh) on secret ops inside Mexico.....um, okay. Send the regular U.S. Army or National Guard? Entirely different story unless you are willing to assume the situation, welfare, and standing of those involved in the area in question.
You are essentially indicating via action and policy that the presumed government is no longer valid or in control and upon entry are instituting your own rule of law. There’s no other alternative.
Invade Mexico and assume it’s burden. Period. Mexico as a nation ceases to be and you assume the vacuum that results.
I’ve long believed that the end of the “drug wars” involves the assumption of current day Mexico as we know it.
Do we want to do that or not. It’s all in or nothing.
No. Not true. Kill the troublemakers and leave the rest to rebuild without them.

Do you really think that is possible, considering the illegals come here and don't even try to assimilate? Those in Mexico are going to willingly agree to Mexico no longer existing? Sounds a little like the muslims trying to wipe Israel off the earth.
