#1 American troops along the border has the potential for disrupting the flow of illegal narcotics and people smuggling which would likely impact their bottom line. There is certainly no threat of an invasion.

THIS, though I would add to that if we close the border, that means no flights to or from Mexico, US flag ships will not be permitted to call there, and money transfers stop.

#10 When we got around to making the Apache feel unwelcome on their visits from Mexico in the late 19th Century, they decided to carry out their tourism locally which finally got the response from Mexico City that the Americans had clamored for decades. I suspect the cartel will look local to expand even further their power and influence if and when the border is closed down.
