So what’s to stop us from intervening in Mexico should such a scenario come to pass? Foreign entanglements in the ME?

I know. It has a bit of a blackmail scent to it as well. However, let's face it. Mexico is not much of a friend to America and Americans. It's very likely intervention by Chavez and oil-rich Muslim countries would be more welcome. Any way you look at it, this whole situation is one big fat mess with, really, no optimal solution.
