Ha! Red Dawn... Growing up in Colorado during the '80s, I can tell ya, Red Dawn scared the stuffing out of me. Fortunately, even in the late '90s of T2K canon, it would be highly improbable that the Russians could scrape together the transports to carry/drop even a single airborne regiment and fly them unimpeded all the way to Colorado (I know you know this).

Also, I'm not sure that a second Bay of Pigs is that plausible. The U.S. government would be able to lend the expatriate invasion force even less aid than was given in the first attempt and without heavy weapons and air/sea cover, it would be doomed to utter failure (like the first one). I can, however, see the Cubans sending an expedition force of their own along with Division Cuba. They have much to gain by doing so and not too much to lose. Unless... perhaps the Cubans stay out of the U.S. to avoid their own total destruction (I can't recall if any U.S. nukes actually struck cuba, according to canon).

I do see various Latin American nations throwing in their lot with Mexico in its invasion of the U.S.

Maybe a Division Gran Columbia, or Brigada Simon Bolivar made up of an official battalion from here and a regiment from there; maybe an all volunteer force made up of men from all over Latin America- kind of like the various foreign Waffen SS units (Viking and Nordland made up of Scandanavian Volunteers, Florian Geyer [sic] from Beligium, etc.). It would beef up the Mexican invasion force a bit and add an extra element of chaos/intrigue once the Mexican offensive grinds to a halt and the invasion force fragments into various warring factions/marauder bands.
