How many people in Mexico will it take for the US government to intervene?
Many, many more. Mexicans are unwilling to accept US troops in their territory, as they are very proud - some would say stubborn - in this respect, not trusting American intentions whenever the military is involved. How can we blame them? Every time American troops have set up afoot on Mexican soil, Mexican people die.
