Mexico is uninvadable for the exact same reason the USA was in WW2: A gun behind every blade of grass. But in their case, it is cartels and criminal empires, not citizen militia. Cell-based and segregated, yet unified, faster to respond than government bureaucracy by a mile, with less than no concern over "honor" or fair play, they in fact seek the opposite. The world looks horrified at the Middle East villains pouring boiling water or acid down throats to kill children. To some cartels that's a mercy killing.
Should the USA fall, Mexico's criminal element will likely take over North America.
Your view of mere crippling poverty and Weimar conditions is an overly optimistic one, I think. A... Kreinocracy? I'm probably mangling the Greek there, but Rule By Criminality.

I'd rather be ruled by local criminals than by global ones.
