As much as I'd love to see T2K break into the mainstream media- especially some of your work, Web- I really don't think anything portraying a Mexican invasion/occupation of any part of the U.S. is going to fly with most conventional U.S. media outlets. U.S.-Mexico relations are a touchy subject on both sides of the border and something like that might rub enough people the wrong way to be considered too provocative to air. I don't think this would be much of an issue if Cuba or the Soviets were the baddies.
Anyway, if you decide to pursue this, you might want to mess with the chronology a little bit. A linear, chronological narrative can get a bit stale. Start with the SW after the TDM and give your audience a taste of what the world has become c. 2000. Then backtrack and devote an episode to your character's pre-war lives and how the world spiralled towards nuclear armageddon before returning to the story in progress. It's a pretty conventional technique but, IMHO, it's a more interesting way of telling the story.
