Pancho villa
President Woodrow Wilson ordered the U.S. Army into Mexico in 1916 to capture Pancho Villa, dead or alive about a week after Villa's forces crossed the U.S.-Mexican border and attacked the small border town of Columbus, New Mexico
General John Pershing was sent to command the Pancho Villa Expedition tasked with capturing Villa. It was the US Army's response to Pancho Villa's 1916-1917 raids on US territory. The expedition was unsuccessful.
The Villistas needed supplies and the US Government had given official recognition to the Carranza Government and had begun an embargo of supplies to Villa. He stole 100 horses and mules from the US Army. Villa paid a man from Columbus for the arms. When he sent to collect the deal, not only the man refused to acknowledge the deal and provide the guns, but he threatened the Villa emissary with his life. When Villa was delivered the news, he got his man and went to collect. The rest is history...

Pancho villa
where did pancho villa live Yes. General John "Black Jack" Pershing, a hero of the Spanish-American War, led a US expeditionary force into Mexico to destroy Pancho Villa. There was fighting, and a young lieutenant named George Patton made a name for himself by killing an enemy general, but the US Army was slowed by the difficult terrain. Pershing had trucks, but there were few roads, and most of his supplies moved by mule train. Pancho Villa had little worry that Pershing would catch him. With World War 1 coming, the expedition was recalled, and Pershing later became General of the Armies, the only general in the history of the US Army to attain this rank. Pancho Villa later retired from his revolutionary endeavors, and he was assassinated by fellow Mexicans.

The US and Mexico border has been invaded by bandits like Pancho Villa, hostile Apeaches and Commanches, but never by the Mexican Army.
