remember, Mexico invited the French to help them with their previous territorial aspirations in N. America.

When? You talking about the French conquest of Mexico during the WBTS? Most Mexicans fought the French and their collaborators.

There were Mexicans who talked to the Germans during WWI about help in the reconquista of the American SW.
