Still, I don't think Mexico could hold its own alone. Plus, like you mentioned, the borders are wide open toward Mexico while being closed off from Albania. Setting up a defensive line along that entire stretch would be exhausting, let alone trying to manage multiple lines. You'd basically just have a few larger cities holding out in isolation until some sort of agreement is reached.
You're forgetting that back in '99, the Mexican army and police were already all over the place, holding down the fort...
The real headache would be fighting in the small towns and villages.
Take the Gjakova municipality, for example.

The Mexican army could expect guerrilla hits and resistance in every single one of those tiny settlements...
How do you even hold onto a municipality where there isn't even a 0.1% Mexican population?
