I don't know who would win because the cartels are way better funded, equiped and trained; but they are way less psychotic and bloodthirsty than the yanks

In any case, nobody wants their employees fighting each other so HR is gonna cool down the situation

Idk, I feel like it's easier to convince the troops to invade Mexico than it is to invade some country in the Middle East.
There are plenty of racist nationalist chuds in America itself let alone the military.
I feel like a lot of conservative types see it as using the military to deal with an "actual" problem that effects the US border, it's soverngty and it's citizens.

While I'm sure garden variety racism will do the heavy lifting at first, the soldiers and those back home will need more to believe in once the flights back start to fill with bodies.
