Mexico most definitely DID NOT cede Texas to the US. Texas won her independence from Mexico in April of 1836 because President Santa Anna failed to live up to the terms of the Constitution of 1824.\n\nMost of the people who fought and died in the Texas Revolution were Mexican citizens. The majority of Texas' citizens - both Anglo and Hispanic alike - supported the Texans fight for independence.\n\nTexas was an independent Republic for ten years before joining the United States in 1846.\n\nInterestingly, when Texas won independence and joined the United States ten years later, Texas territory extended all the way up into Colorado. Do the illegal immigrants plan to recapture Colorado in their laughable plan to regain Aztlán???

Yes It makes me sick to think that people who break our laws are rewarded. To answer the girl from earlier no it isnt all hispanics but lets face facts they are like 95% of illegals. Get rid of the liberal terds, and the illegal Mexicans. All they do is suck off the tit that is law abiding tax paying citizens. They are the reason we have to wait like 2 hrs at the emergency room, our teachers have to speak spanish, and prisons are over populated. F'em send em all packing.

For starters, that the government enforce existing laws. Secure their southern border. Have their congressmen work out a work program for illegals to be able to work legally. Cut the red tape that is keeping those seeking to legally become citizens from having to wait for years- that only encourages illegals to circumvent the law. Even hispanic californians should seek all this. I am hispanic but also a born citizen and there are many as myself who would agree in general with my recomondations.

OK, Pig...first off it's HISPANICS!! It's called spell check!\n\nSecondly, are you saying North America like the US, or the continent? Cuz Hispanics make up the whole southern central piece of the continent...so I could go on & on about their countries!\n\nReferring to the US, do you eat food? A lot of it is harvested by migrant workers....and some of it is shipped in FROM Latin American countries? Ever heard of Taco Bell (OK, so that's a lil sarcastic, but still) or how about Texas, New MEXICO, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, California....oh soooo many names that have come from Spanish....how about roofing & construction or cleaning houses, etc? Or how about actresses & politicians & school teachers? How about song writers & dancers & the artists themselves? \n\nMaybe a better question would be, what areas have Hispanics NOT influenced? Cuz I can't think of a single one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Native American tribes that once lived inside the boundaries of present-day Texas include the Apache, Atakapan, Bidai, Caddo, Comanche, Cherokee, Karankawa, Kiowa, Tonkawa, and Wichita. Currently, there are three federally-recognized Native American tribes which reside in Texas: the Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas, the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas, and the Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo of Texas.\n\nSpanish Texas is the name given by Texas History scholars for the period between 1690—1821 when Texas was governed as a province of the Spanish colony of New Spain. This period begins with the expedition of the governor of Coahuila to destroy the ruins of the French colony of Fort Saint Louis and establish a Spanish presence in the area, and ends with the independence of Mexico in 1821, facilitating Mexican Texas.\n\nIn the 17th and 18th centuries Spain and France maneuvered for control of Texas, with the Spanish based in Mexico and New Mexico and the French in Louisiana. Spain moved quickly to establish a string of missions (often with an accompanying presidio) to establish a toehold in the frontier land. During the War of the Quadruple Alliance in Europe, hostilities spread to the New World and French troops from Natchitoches briefly captured the capital of Texas, Los Adaes, in what is now Northwest Louisiana. The French were not able to wrest control of Texas from Spain, and by the early 19th century sold their North American holdings to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase, which then placed the United States as a threat to the Spanish control of Texas.\n\nIn the years following the Louisiana Purchase and the acquisition of New Orleans by the U.S., American settlers had begun to move westward into Mexican claimed territory. Some settlers were active filibusters, who sought the longterm annexation of the area by the U.S. In 1812-13, the Gutiérrez-Magee Expedition attempted to separate Texas from the Spanish Empire.\n\nSpanish Texas is the name given by Texas History scholars for the period between 1690—1821 when Texas was governed as a province of the Spanish colony of New Spain. This period begins with the expedition of the governor of Coahuila to destroy the ruins of the French colony of Fort Saint Louis and establish a Spanish presence in the area, and ends with the independence of Mexico in 1821, facilitating Mexican Texas.\n\nThe first declaration of independence for modern Texas, by both Anglo-Texan settlers and local Tejanos, was signed in Goliad on December 20, 1835. The Texas Declaration of Independence was enacted at Washington-on-the-Brazos on March 2, 1836, effectively creating the Republic of Texas.\n\nFour days later, the two-week long Battle of the Alamo ended as Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna's forces defeated the nearly 200 Texans defending the small mission (which would eventually become the center of the city of San Antonio). Remember the Alamo! became the battle cry of the Texas Revolution. The Battle of San Jacinto was fought on April 21, 1836, near the present-day city of Houston. General Santa Anna's entire force of 1,600 men was killed or captured by Texas General Sam Houston's army of 800 Texans; only nine Texans died. This decisive battle resulted in Texas' independence from Mexico.\n\nSam Houston, a native of Virginia, was President of the Republic of Texas for two separate terms, 1836–1838 and 1841–1844. He also was Governor of the state of Texas from 1859 to 1861.\n\nThe first Congress of the Republic of Texas convened in October 1836 at Columbia (now West Columbia). Stephen F. Austin, known as the Father of Texas, died December 27, 1836, after serving two months as Secretary of State for the new Republic.\n\nIn 1836, five sites served as temporary capitals of Texas (Washington-on-the-Brazos, Harrisburg, Galveston, Velasco and Columbia) before Sam Houston moved the capital to Houston in 1837. In 1839, the capital was moved to the new town of Austin.\n\nIn

Inthe first place Zapatistas are against the Mexican government because they are the white people fromn Mexico that control the wealth.Zapatistas are mostly of Mexican Indian blood. The Mexican government does not want to take care of their own poor.They want the USA  to take care of the poor from Mexico. That way they do not have to use their own money.\nNext if you think Mexico is goig to get Texas you are full of cuacha.Mexico could not even take the island of Granada.. If Mexico tried to take Texas,Texas would not even call the military.\nJust the citizens Of Texas would kick Mexico"s ass.

Bustamante's Decree, 6 April 1830. In 1828, General Manuel Mier y Ter醤 was commissioned by President Guadalupe Victoria as early as 1827 to help in negotiating the boundary between the Republic of Mexico and the United States of the north and determine the situation in the colonies in more detail after the Fredonian Rebellion. He was the head of a scientific commission spending most of the time in Nacogdoches in 1828 gathering data for a boundary survey. Teran described the condition in Texas to President Victoria: \n\n"The whole population here is a mixture of strange and incoherent parts without parallel in our federation; numerous tribes of Indians, now at peace, but armed and at any moment ready for war, whose steps toward civilization should be taken under the close supervision of a strong and intelligent government; colonists of another people, more aggressive and better informed than the Mexican inhabitants, but also more shrewd and unruly; among these foreigners are fugitives from justice, honest laborers, vagabonds and criminals, but honorable and dishonorable alike travel with their political constitution in their pockets, demanding the privileges, authority, and officers which such a constitution guarantees. Added to this motley mixture were the slaves beginning to learn the favorable intent of the Mexican law toward their unfortunate condition and held with an iron hand to keep them in a state of subjection. The Mexican natives were poor and ignorant, and the local civil officers venal and corrupt; and the colonists, imagining that they were typical, despised all Mexicans. The incoming stream of new settlers was unceasing; and the first news of them came by discovering them on land which they had already long occupied; the old inhabitants would then set up a claim of doubtful validity, a law suit would ensue, and the alcalde had a chance to come out with some money."\n\nIn 1829 when he became Commandant of the Eastern Interior Provinces with Texas in his jurisdiction in response to agitation in the United States for purchase of Texas, he denounced such methods in the following to the minister of war:\n\n"Instead of armies, battles, or invasions, which make a great noise and for the most part are unsuccessful, these men lay hands on means which, if considered one by one, would be rejected as slow, ineffective, and at times palpably absurd. They begin by assuming rights, as in Texas, which it is impossible to sustain in a serious discussion, making ridiculous pretensions based on historical incidents which no one admits---such as the voyage of La Salle, which was an absurd fiasco, but serves as a basis for their claim to Texas. Such extravagant claims as these are now being presented for the first time to the public by dissembling writers. The efforts that others make to submit proofs and reasons are by these men employed in reiterations and in enlarging upon matters of administration in order to attract the attention of their fellow countrymen, not to the justice of the claim, but to the profit to be gained from admitting it. At this stage it is alleged that there is a national demand for the step which the government meditates. In the meantime, the territory against which these machinations are directed, and which has usually remained unsettled, begins to be visited by adventurers and empresarios; some of these take up their residence in the country, pretending that their location has no bearing upon the question of their government's claim or the boundary disputes; shortly, some of these forerunners develop an interest which complicates the political administration of the coveted territory; complaints, even threats, begin to be heard, working on the loyalty of the legitimate settlers, discrediting the efficiency of the existing authority and administration; and the matter having arrived at this stage---which is precisely that of Texas at this moment--diplomatic manoeuvers begin."\n\nF

To many Rats:\n\nDallas County Wants Refunds for Mexicans' Health Care \n\nCommissioners in Dallas County, Texas, plan to ask the Mexican government to pay for the medical care given to Mexican nationals at a local hospital. \n\nEach year, Dallas County taxpayers spend $15 million to treat Mexican nationals at Parkland Hospital - and that total includes only the first two days of the patients' emergency care, according to CBS 11 News in Dallas. \n\n"We will be sending a bill to Mexico's president to explain to him and to the embassy how much money it is costing the Dallas County taxpayer to treat their residents, and they need to reimburse Dallas County," said County Judge Margaret Keliher. \n\nJesse Diaz, local president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, complained: "Why punish Mexico? Mexico should not be a scapegoat ... the immigrants are paying taxes, buying homes and cars, and are contributing to the economy." \n\nDallas County will also send bills to nearby Texas counties whose residents seek care at Parkland - running up a tab of nearly $27 million a year, according to Keliher. \n\nDallas can't force those other counties to pay up. But Parkland's board chair Dr. Lauren McDonald said if outsiders don't pay their fair share of emergency and trauma care, it will have a devastating effect on the hospital and those who rely on it.

Somebody had to do something. The federal government is all talk and no action. Do you have a link to these new laws? I haven't read them yet. Georgia was the perfect state to do something because no one can say this state was stolen from mexicans.
