World War 2 with a Fascist Mexico

Say Mexico joined the Central powers after Zimmerman, which leads to the loss of Sonora, Chihuahua and Baja California, what chance is there of a Fascist movement arising in Mexico that signs the Axis pact?

What would happen in WW2?

What would the Cold War look like?

How would this affect the Monroe Doctrne?
 
Actually the Mexican president in the late 1920s Plutarco Calles was pretty much a Fascist, saw Mein Kampf as a the zeitgeist of 20th century thought and had uniformed thugs roaming Mexico City. All this despite being part of the apparently left-centre National Revolutionary Party, which under him had some pretty authoritarian and corporatist ideas.

After he was forced to step down due to Presidential one-term limits in the constitution, he dominated the party as a shadow dictator, until Cardenas appeared in 1936 as President, despite being an old comrade and a PNR loyalist he was also a pretty dedicated Social-Democrat and ochestrated a major internal coup that removed business, union and political leaders that were loyal to Calles' fascistic ideas. Ironically Calles had picked Cardenas as a safe puppet to rule through.

Have someone else picked as PNR candidate in 1936 (which guaranteed him the Presidenacy in post-Revolution Mexico) to rule through and a Vargas style shift might see Mexico become a fully-fledged corporatist state.

Still such a country would side with the Allies regardless due to America's unfluence, just as Brazil did (something Hitler thought impossible due to ideological ties)
