The Mexican army has been the only one that has really invaded partially and attacked the US inside its continental territory (not counting Pearl Harbor), during the mexican revolution at the dawn of the 20th century Pancho Villa went into New Mexico chasing some "gringos" (as Americans are now called in Latin America), actually the word "gringo" comes from the shouting that Villa's "revolucionarios" were doing to the americans who used to wear green color uniforms in that time (Green-Goo, Green-Goo!!)... For those that are ready to say that the Alamo (San Antonio) was the first incident, actually in that time Texas was in dispute as it belonged to Mexico... When Katrina hurricane hit Lousiana some years ago the Mexican Army went back to the Alamo but this time with the peaceful mission of helping feedeing the homeless... Enough for History today ;-)
