However, Mexico passed. What they knew, and Germany didn’t figure in, was the the Second Amendment. That meant every armed American would be gunning for them. We’d been to Mexico City before, and they remembered that far more than the lost territory they never really governed in the first place.

Plus no aid the Germans would have sent Mexico would have made it there--or at least not enough to be of sufficient help.

But there was another reason, one which I wonder no one thinks of in today's trouble with Mexico: that country would have had to pacify and assimilate a large Anglo-Protestant population. I wonder why they think they can do this now.

Why do you think no aid would have reached Mexico?
Plus, religion had no bearing. The Southwest of 1917 wasn’t exactly booming population wise.
No, the assimilation was not possible due to the Second Amendment. The Mexican government knew that.
