#3  I still think there is considerable danger that it could evolve a long and bloody civil war

It's long overdue. It's been held off by the actions of the American bureaucracy to allow 10 million of the disenfranchised and unemployed of Mexico to shift their discontent and trouble into their own border, much to the delight and retention of power by the Mexican ruling caste. Who needs long over due and much needed reform when the chumps cross the border will provide an indefinite pressure release. The Trunks still haven't figured out yet, there's going to be social upheaval. It's either going to happen in Mexico, were it should have happened already, or here. They got a taste of what's brewing, but ignored the warning signs.

#2  How stable is Mexico? I still think there is considerable danger that it could evolve a long and bloody civil war. Not even for a particular reason, but for a dozen of them. Fueled by the drug trade and the bitter economic disparity, it might begin like the struggle for Nuevo Laredo, and grow from there, into a regional then national conflict.
