Mexico has never been our ally.
Correct. Remember Germany was assisting them against the US? Prior to WWI.
> Mexico has never been our ally. <
As a general rule, oh yes. But interestingly enough, during WW2 Mexico did send a fighter squadron to assist us in the Pacific. The unit took part in the Philippines campaign.

“Mexico has never been our ally.”
Amen. Mexicans have long bemoaned the fact that they “are so far from God, and so close to the United States.”
From time to time, Mexico has suffered incursions from both European countries (during our Civil War, a royal house attached to the Austro-Hungary Empire was established in Mexico), and the US itself, but once our civil war was concluded, the usurpers were booted out. Mexico went through several revolutions, until just before the First World War, General “Black Jack” Pershing took an expeditionary force in and quelled most of the revolutionaries, restoring some degree of peace to the land. There has always been a steady trickle of migrants that came into the US, earned some Yanqui dollars, and returned home. Only now, increasing numbers are NOT returning home, and the best and brightest simply stay in the United States, furthering the “brain drain” in their land.
Must be total fools running the Dept. of State.
