It carried weapons, no? Anyway, it took 2 more years for Americans to join, reason was intercepted telegram by German ambassador trying to get Mexico to join their side i belive.
I mean what a stupid idea, what use would Mexico be, they were poor, unstable and devastated by civil wars.

Their choice of allies were always poor, Austria-Hungary in WW1 was dying empire long before 1914 (nationalism of its many peoples ripping them apart), Italy in WW2, less said the better
