It's the first time Mexican Military operates on US soil since 1848.

In 1846, Mexican troops advanced north of the Rio Grande in Texas, a rebel state that had joined the United States.
Mexico did not then recognize the Rio Grande as the U.S. border.
Soon after, the Mexican-American War began, and this led to the theft of half of Mexico's territory in 1848.

Please, Please, take Texas and Louisiana away from us!

A18:
We didn't "steal" Mexican land. If another nation tries to steal your territory, it only makes sense to teach them a little lesson.

Now, the Spanish-American War on the other hand...

Come on, what kind of legitimate claim did the US have on Mexico north of the Rio Grande?

A18:
Given how awful a country Mexico is, we had a very legitimate claim even before they unjustly invaded Texas.
