I'd agree with the idea that a great many of the illegal immigrants currently in the US would not be particularly interested in the fight at all. They're here for economic opportunity, and after the world economy gets blasted by the nukes, there's no real reason to be hanging about. The idea that they'd want to get home, as was mentioned, makes a lot of sense to me.
Of course, if there were US affiliated groups running around taking an "the only good Mexican is a dead Mexican" view of things, I could see lots of illegal immigrants and completely legal US citizens of Mexican descent getting caught up on the Mexican military's side of the fight for motivations of survival or perhaps revenge that they would not have had when things kicked off.
