Wilson uses a minor incident with Mexico as an excuse to occupy Veracruz what was the consequences of that action?
The incident is called the Tampico Affair, when a misunderstanding between Mexican soldiers and American sailors resulted in a "Mexican standoff" at the Mexican port of Tampico on April 9, 1914. The American sailors were arrested, but later liberated. Then, the American commander in the area, Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo, demanded a formal apology for the events, which included that Mexico had to raise the United States flag on its soil and provide a 21-gun salute. Obviously, these demands were ignored, and President Wilson ordered an armed invasion of the area. This, among a faulty intelligence report stating that a German shipment of arms was bound for Veracruz, resulted in the United States occupation of Veracruz, when 2,300 American marines assaulted and took the aforementioned port city on April 21, 1914, occupying it for six months.
Immediate results include 22 American marines killed and 70 wounded, and up to 172 Mexican casualties, with 250 wounded including Mexican infantry, sailors and some militia formed from the city populace. Both Victoriano Huerta and Venustiano Carranza (opposing rivals during the Mexican Revolution) officially objected to the occupation, but neither was able to oppose it effectively, as both were fighting against each other. The occupation brought the two countries to the brink of war, and damaged the US-Mexican relations for many years.

To prevent a shipment of German arms from reaching Mexico, President Wilson ordered the invasion and occupation of the Mexican port city of Veracruz on April 1914. This resulted in approximately 200 dead and many more wounded. At the time, relations between both countries were already poor, and put both countries at the brink of war.
What was Wilson's intervention in Mexico?
He ignored Mexico due to poor diplomatic relations, until a small incident (see related questions) prompted him to invade and occupy the Mexican port of Veracruz for six months in 1914. This invasion brought the two countries to the brink of war and worsened US-Mexico relations for decades to come. Also, after the town of Columbus, New Mexico was attacked by Mexican outlaw Francisco Villa in 1916, he proceeded to launch a punitive expedition into Mexico, with the intent of capturing and/or killing Villa. In either case, Mexico was in the middle of its Mexican Revolution (1910-1921), so neither side during the revolution could respond accordingly to such flagrant violation of their sovereignty.
