Yes, they could have. It was true that Germany tried to get Mexico involved in the war on the Axis' side, but it is very improbable that Mexico - just recovering from a civil war - would have seriously considered starting a war with the US on behalf of Germany.

President Wilson - already sympathetic to the Allied's war effort - however managed to use Germany's efforts with Mexico as a way to successfully chance the isolationist attitude of Congress and the general public in the US.
