Sumario:The article provides information on the implementation of neutrality laws and its impact to the Mexican Revolution in the U.S.-Mexico border and the invasion of the southern region of the U.S. between 1913-1919. It mentions that there was a difficulty in enforcing these laws due to several factors including restrictive orders from the authority, limited manpower, and the problems with the rules of engagement at war. In addition, Mexican raiders, which was led by Francisco Villa have invaded the said border, due to the vulnerability of border security. However, the revolt was ended due to the efforts of the Tenth United States Cavalry, which was stationed in the Arizona border and the war was terminated in 1920.
