If only it worked that way. The pretext has been given, and republicans will use it to punish Mexico collectively in various ways.
Mexican hopes for being part of American plans for onshoring (as American companies look for alternative locations to China) will be reduced.
To get Mexico back in America’s good graces, they will be expected to push any potential migrants miles away from the American border, and be more harsh on Mexico’s own southern border.
Mexican Army will probably also be forced to go on operations against the cartels under direct (but hush hush) American supervision. Basically increasing the risk of a Mexican civil war on all fronts.
First the gulf cartel will be destroyed, but that will just be the start

The Mexican president knows the SHTF and is trying to pre-empt what looks like it’s coming down the pike.
Finally, the Republicans will use this to justify then need for a wall align the entire border, as well as a reduction in Mexicans being able to travel or immigrate to the US, slowing down the demographic shift. With Mexicans being able to move to the US as an economic pressure release valve, the pressure on the Mexican government will build.
Btw, I’m have a feeling all the other cartels are going to slaughter the gulf cartel for what they is about to be brought upon the rest of the cartels and Mexico by the US.
