Wilson says US would declare war by sending troops to Mexico without consent
President Wilson stated the United States would be at war if marines or armed forces were sent into Mexico without the governing authorities' consent. He said no such mission had been sought from Huerta or Carranza, no policy change planned, and that landing troops had only been discussed, not decided. He noted reports of Huerta claiming a denial and referenced precedents with Britain, Germany, and Nicaragua.
