United States replies to Carranza on Mexico border raids
The 1916 diplomatic note from Secretary of State Robert Lansing condemns Carranza's de facto government for failing to stop bandit raids and cross border attacks. It states American troops acted only to disperse Villa and his followers, rejects Mexican demands to withdraw, and insists on protecting American lives and property along the border.
