If the Mexican army attacked a small region in Texas, because the residents felt more aligned with them?

Question

What would be the response of the USA?

Purely hypothetical!

Answer 1

It is history.  

Answer 2

it's not the same as Russia attacking Georgia.

the whole USA isn't bombing any "break away" parts of Texas, the president of the USA isn't a whining little *****, the USA isn't getting aid from the soviet union, etc.

Answer 3

The U.S. Military would respond and drive back the Mexican army to Mexico.  It's pretty simple.

Answer 4

We wouldn't even need to  send the Army. Texans are armed to the teeth. Mexico would suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of ordinary citizens. Don't mess with Texas.

Answer 5

check this hypothetical story

Conflict = Mexican Government vs Some American Citizens who prefer live Mexico ( mexico wants sell more corona but they prefer bud lite .. sounds serious wasn't? )

Reason = Mexico want to join anti-Americans club owned by china for possible threats comes from north. And this club asked from Mexico's "clear your conflict with U.S citizens who live at your country" that's why mexico push hardly for agreement.

Peace talks = Failure, because U.S government gave a promise for defeat the enemies who try to attack american town at Mexicans terratory and they send enough sixpack's for free .. that's why they wasn't make a deal with Mexico.

Situation = Mexican Land Forces attack a town full with American Citizens , couple hundred U.S Citizens gonna die for try save the city. Local FoX Channel & governor ask aid from Washington for defeat the Mexicans ( but we still talking about Mexicans territory, this story wasn't happen at U.S ) and U.S defeat them with Abrahams .. they send more than 50k soldiers to protect the city and harvest some free marihuana.

other hand there is a pipeline was there, a BIG pipeline for deliver marihuana to beijing .. and chineses want to keep this pipe!! warm. (Spice must flow) When U.S soldiers camp at there Chineses can't take a single breath from this pipe, ( cuz americans use it 7/24 ) they feel bad & angry because they doesn't want sober.

.. this is the problem.

ok .. tell me. what answer shout be given to U.S by China and Allies?

Answer 6

well depends on what part of Texas. not saying i would miss El Paso cause have to drive through it to get to Cali but other than that would it really be a loss. but Texans are armed and mean so they could fight anyone off. but if the US military got involved Mexico would spanked back hard

Answer 7

I live in Texas--and not even the mexicans-illegal or not, are aligned with Mexico!...Why do you think they risk their lives to get out...?

Ok, ok...Hypothetically---We are certainly some gun toten folks---so I'd say the mexican army wouldn't have a chance--Texas is the proudest and most patriotic, I have ever seen (i'm originally from California)----

Texans don't play---

You may want to change the question to California--I'd love to hear those..

Answer 8

We would attack them and have the justice for it, as Texas is apart of the US, while South Ossetia on the other hand, is either apart of Georgia, according to the world, or an autonomous country, according to themselves. They ARE NOT, I REPEAT, ARE NOT PART OF RUSSIA.

Answer 9

We would call John Wayne, Yule Brenner, Jack Palance, Lee Marvin, and Steve McQueen. Oh, I forgot the Three Amigo's. The entire Mexican Army would flee to Argentina, and Mexico would be ours.

Answer 10

Perhaps you are not aware of it, but that's what happened at the Alamo except that it was the US taking territory from Mexico. That part of Texas belonged to Mexico (many of the cities and towns still bear their Mexican names) but was settled by american settlers although the majority were still Mexicans. The non-Hispanic settlers then wanted the region to go to the US and secede from Mexico. There was no referendum but pure land-grab by the texans.  Mexico sent General Santa Ana to retake the territory for Mexico and he took the catholic mission of Alamo. The myth was created that it was a battle for freedom, but the reality was it was a fight to justify land-grab and slavery which was banned by Mexico but practised by the texan slave owners. One month after the Alamo, in March of 1836, Texas adopted a constitution which included a provision declaring slavery was legal in Texas. In April, Texans rallied under Sam Houston and "Remember the Alamo". They defeated the Mexicans, declared the Republic of Texas, ratified the Texas Constitution and requested U.S. statehood as a slave state.

So you see it did happen and the US, responded with 'shock and awe' and annexed its neighbour's territories. Since then it has been emboldened to do it repeatedly - Hawaii, Greneda, Panama, Haiti, Deigo Garcia, Okinawa, etc.

Answer 11

Hypothetical??  The Mexican Army has been crossing our borders at record numbers to date sir.  It is no longer "hypothetical".  As you notice, our Government has done zilch, not even calling out Mexico in the process.  

This picture is NOT RIGHT!!!!  

Answer 12

I'm a Brit and am only too aware of the sacrifices made by Americans to free Texas from the clutches of foreign domination.

Remember the Alamo.
