This is where the T2013 had it more correct than T2K. I think the Mexicans halting oil and other products would have been tried. But an invasion is too "iffy" for a third tier nation geared towards internal defence. If they were to go that route then 2000-2001 should have been the start time with Division Cuba training select units and advising that the U.S. is most vulnerable now. The movement of troops south would tip the cart in a lot of regions, stir up New America, etc. This is a guess, I was just a truck driver. But if Mexico were to try a military solution, timing and luck would be needed, not that the CONUS units sucked during the conflict so hand wave it in. I also think the Texas Legion would get it'd heavy gear from the Mexican forces," Sure that's all we captured" to the U.S. forces while stashing stuff away. This wouldbean interesting campaign idea, especially set pre-nuke. Modified it can work as filler in T2013, with the Mexicans receiving Chinese aid for an insurgency.
