[quote:Anonymous Coward 77224507:MV8zOTU1OTg3XzcxNTA5NjcyXzlENkRENTFG] [b]REMEMBER THE ALAMO?[/b] [b]Under President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican government began to shift away from a federalist model. The increasingly dictatorial policies, including the revocation of the Constitution of 1824 in early 1835, incited many federalists to revolt.[6] The border region of Mexican Texas was largely populated by immigrants from the United States. These people were accustomed to a federalist government and to extensive individual rights, and they were quite vocal in their displeasure at Mexico's shift towards centralism.[7] Already suspicious after previous American attempts to purchase Mexican Texas,[8] Mexican authorities blamed much of the Texian unrest on American immigrants, most of whom had made little effort to adapt to the Mexican culture.[9][/b] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Alamo We have come full circle. Mexico wants Texas back. History shows that Mexico encouraged settlement by Americans in the then, Mexican Texas region, IN HOPES THAT THEY WOULD DRIVE OUT THE American NATIVES who were causing trouble for the Mexicans! When Americans began settling in areas other than what Mexico intended however, their plan fell apart. Nor were American settlers in the region willing to live under a dictatorship. BASICALLY WHAT I SEE GOING ON HERE IS MEXICO WANTS TEXAS AND CALIFORNIA BACK AND DEMOCRATS ARE WILLING TO GIVE REPARATIONS AND CONCESSIONS RATHER THAN FIGHT TO PRESERVE OUR REPUBLIC. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. America isn't for sale at any price, because if it is, then it isn't America any longer. [/quote]
