Absolutely not. The instant US forces began offensive operations against Mexico, hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Mexican refugees would begin to cross the US-Mexican border. That would exponentially increment problems such as crime and strained social services in every border state.

Besides, the US and Mexican economies are closely dependent towards each other. For example, the United States imports almost 1.3 million barrels of crude oil per day from Mexico. This represents almost 14% of the total imports of oil. Losing that portion of oil imports, even temporarily, would be a total disaster for the US economy: Imagine if instead of paying US$2.55 per gallon of gasoline you have to pay $4.19 just because Mexico stops selling that oil to the US.

On the other side, Mexican imports of American goods and services account for almost 430 million dollars a day. Losing that revenue by the economic embargo imposed as result of hostilities would also impose a severe blow to US businesses in Mexico, including more job losses and bankruptcies.
