A couple of years back some smuggled out footage/or pictures showed the populace was generally starving. I think the cause was general economic mismanagement coupled with a drought. Since we're talking about including climate change another drought with the starving populace discontent > rebellious could influence his decission, especially if the south is still a thriving economic powerhouse it is becoming now.

Historically, when the U.S. has mobilized for a world war, Mexicans are welcomed into the country because the U.S. needs to replace labor lost to the draft. Perhaps, though, after nuclear strikes on the U.S., the orderly trickle of immigrants turns into a flood, including many opportunistic looters and the like, and militia groups begin using deadly force to stem the flow. As a result, the Mexican military moves in to protect its citizens, meets with some success, and decides, with encouragement from Moscow and/or Beijing, to press its brief advantage. The invasion is quickly framed as a war against American imperialism- a war to avenge the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo- and Russia even contributes some troops from its bases in Latin America.
This makes the SW of the U.S.A. a chaotic, active battleground of varying intensity- pretty ideal for T2K gameplay.

I agree with all of this except the nonsensical bolded sentence. Why would refugees "Flood" from a not nuked country into a nuked country?
Perhaps a nuke meant for say Corpus Christie, drops a few hundred kilometers south of Brownsville/Matamoros.
