The first time US forces entered Mexico was on April 23, 1914 with the goal of invading the city and port of Veracruz. The second time US forces entered Mexico was from 1916-1917 in order to catch Pancho Villa.

Mexico was in the middle of its Mexican Revolution (1910-1921), so it couldn't respond adequately to such flagrant violation of its sovereignty. Pershing's mission was to capture Francisco "Pancho" Villa, which he failed to do due to Villa's superior knowledge of the terrain.
