John Reed is against invading Mexico because he does not see a need to invade an alien country and race only to force our own countries problems on top of their own. Throughout his article reed describes his experiences while researching the people of Mexico and the war from their side of the border. Reed argues against many assumptions made from the American people about Mexicans being war hungry, uncivilized, uncleanly, poor, ruffians.
